2020 Map of Benchland

About this map

The settlement of Benchland serves as the central focal point of this Judith Basin County landscape, situated where the high plains transition into organized agricultural and transit corridors. The township is supported by the Benchland Cem, located to the west along Windham Benchland Rd. The local hydrology is defined by the winding paths of Sage Cr and Louse Cr, which carve through the terrain alongside numerous springs, including the specifically noted 16N13E35BCD_01 Spring near Big Coulee. A network of rural routes and historic trails, such as Cottonwood Trl, Browns Hill Trl, and the aptly named Last Chance Rd, reveal the established movement patterns of this ranching and farming community. The map's layout emphasizes the rectangular survey system that has governed Montana's land use for over a century.
