2014 Map of Brooks

About this map

Brooks and Baxter serve as the primary focal points of this Fergus County landscape, where the agricultural plains meet the foothills of the South Moccasin Mountains. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including Warm Spring Cr, Moccasin Cr, and Burnette Cr, which drain from the higher elevations of Rocky Butte toward the valley floors. Transportation in this era is anchored by Us-191 and MT-81, linking these rural communities and providing access to family-named landmarks like Carters Pond and Upper Carters Pond. Genealogists will find interest in Sunset Memorial Gardens, while the inclusion of various local tracks such as Denton Cutoff and Maiden Rd illustrates the established rural road system used by generations of Montana ranching and farming families.
