2017 Map of Brooks

About this map

The South Moccasin Mountains rise sharply in the western portion of this Central Montana landscape, dominated by the prominent peak of Rocky Butte. This region, located within Fergus County, centers on the small settlement of Brooks and the nearby locale of Baxter. The geography is defined by a series of drainages, including Warm Spring Cr and Moccasin Cr, which carve through the high plains terrain. Local land use is reflected in features like the Sunset Memorial Gardens and the inclusion of irrigation or stock water sources such as Upper Carters Pond and Carters Pond. The map also captures the intricate web of local transit, from the Old Denton Cutoff to the eponymous Brooks Loop, illustrating the rural connectivity required to navigate the mountain foothills and adjacent prairies.
