About this map

Windy Ridge stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Garfield County, overlooking a network of ephemeral watercourses and deep ravines. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Santo Arroyo Cr and Long Br cutting through the northern reaches while Wolf Cr and Wolf Springs anchor the southern terrain. This region of Montana exhibits a sparse infrastructure typical of ranching country, where movement is dictated by routes like 17220 RD and W Little Dry Rd. The topographical detail highlights the varied elevation of Tinsley Coulee and Long Coulee, illustrating the erosional character of the plains. These features, along with names like Tepee Cr and Badger Cr, reflect the local naming conventions of the high plains where water sources and prominent coulees are the primary geographical markers.
