About this map

Shields River flows along the western edge of this Montana landscape, where the settlement of Clyde Park serves as a central point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Moolsh Hill and the broad Cottonwood Bench, which is crisscrossed by irrigation and natural drainage systems. The map detail highlights a network of rural routes, including Cottonwood Bench Rd and Upper Cottonwood Rd, that connect isolated homesteads and family-named landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of Mt Calvary Cem near the town center and the more remote Rock Creek Cem to the east. The intricate hydrology of the region is well-documented, featuring multiple forks of Horse Cr in the north and the winding paths of Looking Glass Cr and Cottonwood Cr. These water sources and the named springs, such as 02N00E22C Spring, underscore the vital role of water management in this high-plains environment.
