About this map

Monarch Oil Field marks the northern reaches of this Fallon County landscape, indicating the energy-driven economy that defines this portion of eastern Montana. The terrain is structured by a network of drainage systems, including Pennel Cr, Sandstone Cr, and Timber Cr, which carve through the plains. The road network reveals a mix of functional infrastructure and local history, with routes such as Burnt Station Rd, Thiel-Acc-Road, and the historically named Tonquin Trl crossing the township boundaries. Us-12 serves as the primary transportation artery, cutting diagonally through the southern sections. This survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and industrial footprint in the years following the turn of the 21st century, where large-scale ranching and petroleum extraction coexist on the high plains.
