2017 Map of Big Spring

About this map

The rolling plains along the Fergus and Judith Basin county line are defined by a network of drainage systems and high benchlands. Natural water features like Big Spring and the meandering Dry Wolf Cr anchor the landscape, which is incised by the Big Sagebrush Coulee to the east. This 2017 survey reveals a highly organized grid of rural corridors, reflecting the area's agricultural and ranching heritage. Long-established routes such as Hoosac Rd and Melton Rd traverse the northern sections, while Silo Bench Rd and Indian Butte Rd provide access to the southern reaches. The interplay between the upland benches and the creek bottoms of Sage Cr and Indian Cr illustrates the typical topography of central Montana's high plains.
