2020 Map of Brush Mountain

About this map

Brush Mtn rises above the high plains of northwest North Dakota and northeast Montana, serving as a primary landmark in a landscape defined by drainage patterns and section lines. The map captures a quiet, rural interior where the state boundary between Montana and North Dakota intersects with Williams, Sheridan, and Roosevelt counties. Water sources, vital to the history of this arid ranching and farming region, are documented through features such as Dead Horse Spring and the drainage of Brush Mountain Cr alongside its E Fork Brush Mountain Cr. A low-lying area named Sweet Slough sits in the eastern portion of the sheet, providing a contrast to the higher ground of the mountain. The grid of service roads, including Chokecherry Rd and Brush Mountain Rd, reveals a modern settlement pattern built upon the original township and range system.
