About this map

Beaver-Ball Creek and its tributary Beaver Ball Creek define the central drainage pattern of this Fergus County landscape, where water rights and ranch access dictate the local geography. The area is heavily marked by a network of established tracks and rural thoroughfares such as Bench Rd and Tyler Cutoff, which facilitate movement between the high plateaus and the valley floors.

The presence of Dead Horse Ln suggests the practical, often blunt naming conventions of the region's ranching heritage. Hydrological features like the North Fork Elk Creek and Dry Fork underscore the seasonal nature of the water supply in this part of Montana. This contemporary survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the enduring Public Land Survey System grid, including township lines for t14n r23e and t13n r23e, which continue to organize the sparsely populated territory.
