About this map

Christina and Suffolk serve as the primary human touchpoints in this section of Fergus County, where the landscape is defined by the intricate drainage systems of the Central Montana plains. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, most notably at Sheepherder Peak and the aptly named Freeze Out Coulee. These features rise above a network of seasonal and perennial waterways including Dog Cr and Alkali Cr, which have carved deep patterns into the earth over generations.

Transportation through this ranching country follows established corridors like Winifred Rd and Salt Creek Rd, connecting isolated homesteads to the wider region. The arrangement of section lines and rural tracks such as Washboard Rd and Andrews Rd illustrates the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System. For those studying the geography of Fergus County, the map provides a clear record of how names like Murphy Coulee and S Fork Cottonwood Cr anchor the local identity of the land.
