2017 Map of Circle Bridge

About this map

The Marias River carves a deep, winding path through the southern half of this landscape, creating a dramatic break in the high plains of Liberty County. This 2017 survey reveals a sparsely populated agricultural and ranching region defined by an extensive network of coulees that drain toward the river, including Layton Coulee, Sixmile Coulee, and Wolfe Coulee. Human presence is marked by the scattered infrastructure of the frontier, most notably at the Erickson Cem and the river crossings at Circle Bridge and Moffat Bridge. The terrain north of the river is etched with local roads such as Moffett Rd and Mountain Highway 366, illustrating how the township-and-range grid adapts to the natural drainage of Cottonwood Cr and other seasonal waterways.
