2024 Map of Content NW

About this map

Content Rd winds through this arid expanse of northern Phillips County, tracing a path across the varied hydrology of the Montana plains. The landscape is defined by intermittent drainages, including the branching reaches of D-H-S Creek and the southern flow of Sevenmile Creek. This contemporary survey reveals a section of the American West where the grid of public land surveying meets local nomenclature, such as the areas designated Swedes Sq and Swedes Sq W. The presence of these named squares alongside winding waterways like Cottonwood Creek suggests a history of local land division and ranching routes that persist into the modern day. For those studying the rural geography of the High Line region, the map provides a clear look at how drainage patterns and established roads dictate the layout of this sparsely populated terrain.
