About this map

Ashford Spring serves as a critical water point in this drainage-rich portion of Valley County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of coulees and seasonal watercourses. This early 21st-century survey documents a ranching environment where water management is paramount, evidenced by Barnard Dam, Bear Tracks Reservoir, and Luther Reservoir. These man-made features punctuate the dry terrain, supporting local agriculture and livestock.

The map details several significant drainages, including the northern stretches of Square Creek and the divergent paths of the North Fork Antelope Creek and South Fork Antelope Creek. Named coulees like Ashford Coulee, McNab Coulee, and Limekiln Coulee provide topographic character to the region, while sparse infrastructure such as Sunset Ln and Ridge Rd connect the isolated points of interest across the Montana plains.
