About this map

Teton Ridge dominates the center of this 1980s landscape in Teton County, where the high ground drops away into a complex network of seasonal drainages and depressions. The presence of Alkali and Alkali Flats across the terrain suggests a high-mineral, arid environment characteristic of this portion of Montana, where water is ephemeral and the soil composition dictates the land use. A lone Cem is marked in the central-southern portion of the sheet, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing early inhabitants of the township. The map depicts a transitional landscape divided by the township lines of T 25 N, T 24 N, and T 23 N, showing the systematic grid of rural Montana as it appeared in the late twentieth century.
