2020 Map of Chester NW

About this map

Adobe Ridge provides the central geographic backbone of this Liberty County landscape, where the high plains of northern Montana are deeply incised by a series of significant drainage features. These intermittent watercourses, including Phillipine Coulee and O'Brien Coulee, reveal the complex erosion patterns characteristic of this arid region. The map captures a strictly agricultural and pastoral infrastructure defined by a precise section-line road network, including Laird Rd and Horse Creek Rd, which provide access to the vast ranching tracts of the Hi-Line. This 2020 record documents the enduring Public Land Survey System boundaries across townships like T34N R6E and T35N R6E, showing how property and transit lines remain tied to the original homesteading grids in a place where geographical features like Fourmile Coulee still dictate the flow of movement.
