About this map

The Collins settlement serves as the focal point of this Teton County landscape, situated near the confluence of local water systems and transportation corridors. The terrain is deeply defined by the winding course of the Teton River and its tributary, Muddy Cr, which carve through the plains. The erosion patterns have created distinctive geological features such as Railroad Coulee, Trail Coulee, and Government Coulee, illustrating the complex drainage systems that shaped the region's topography.

A strictly gridded road network, including Collins Rd and 22nd Rd NE, organizes the agricultural land, while the Brady Frontage and E Frontage Rd parallel the modern highway infrastructure in the northeastern corner. This layout demonstrates the intersection of early water-dependent settlement patterns with the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System, spanning the border between Teton Co and Pondera Co.
