About this map

Dovetail Creek and Blood Creek define the drainage patterns of this central Montana landscape, where cattle ranching and water management are the primary drivers of human activity. The map reveals a network of small-scale infrastructure, including Warren Weaver Number 1 Dam, Warren Weaver Number 2 Dam, and the Torger Dam, illustrating the importance of water storage in this arid region. High points like Dog Butte provide verticality to the terrain, while geological features such as Connolly Coulee and Carter Coulee cut through the plains.

Local landmarks such as Brown Spring and a sparse road network, including Dovetail Rd and Valentine Rd, connect the few points of interest in this expansive territory. The area is characterized by its isolation and the naming of features after local figures, as seen in the clustered Weaver family dams, providing a clear record of land use and stewardship in Fergus County during the early 21st century.
