2020 Map of Bears Nest

About this map

Bears Nest rises as a prominent high point in this corner of Roosevelt County, overlooking a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and cattle-country roads. The topography is shaped by the winding courses of Sage Cr in the north and the headwaters of Assiniboine Cr to the south. Historically part of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, the land shows the sparse infrastructure typical of the northern plains, where local connectivity relies on gravel routes like Benrud Rd and 2042 Rd. Water remains the central feature of the terrain, with Snell Spring providing a critical point of interest among the draws, while Smith Coulee and Boxelder Cr mark the southwestern reaches of the quadrangle. The map details the Public Land Survey System grid, including boundaries for t31n r48e and neighboring townships, reflecting the systematic division of this Montana ranching territory.
