2011 Map of Brooks

About this map

Brooks and the nearby settlement of Baxter anchor this Fergus County landscape, where the prairie begins to break against the rising form of Rocky Butte. The 2011 survey reveals an environment defined by its water management and agricultural transport network, specifically the series of impoundments including Upper Carters Pond and Carters Pond along Burnette Creek. Local heritage is marked by Sunset Memorial Gardens, situated just west of the primary road corridor. The map details an intricate drainage system where Warm Spring Creek and Moccasin Creek wind through the terrain, supported by specialized infrastructure like the Lower Carter Pond Dam and Colver Dam. Historic travel patterns are preserved in the naming of rural routes such as the Old Denton Cutoff and Maiden Cutoff, providing a clear look at the regional connectivity between ranching hubs and smaller communities in the early 21st century.
