2024 Map of Crane NW

About this map

North Fork Fox Creek and its southern counterpart, Fox Creek, carve through the undulating landscape of Richland County in this modern topographic record. The map reveals a sparsely populated terrain dominated by agricultural and open-range land divisions, defined by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t23n r56e, t23n r57e, t22n r56e, and t22n r57e. Water is the primary sculptor of this geography, with the South Fork Lone Tree Creek draining the northern reaches. Human activity is evidenced by a sparse network of county roads, including Co Rd 127 and Co Rd 336, which follow the section lines and natural contours of the drainages. This survey provides a clear view of the high plains drainage patterns and rural infrastructure in eastern Montana as they exist today.
