About this map

Christensen Cem sits in the northern section of this Sheridan County landscape, serving as a quiet focal point for local family history research. This corner of Montana is defined by its intermittent drainage systems, where Boxelder Cr, Marron Cr, and Ator Cr carve subtle pathways through the open plains. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and gravel routes, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on modern navigation and property boundaries. A network of rural roads, including Stormy Valley Rd and Lone Star Rd, connects remote holdings, while Blue Tr Rd and La Migra Rd suggest the practical, local naming conventions that ground the area's identity. This documentation by the U.S. Geological Survey emphasizes the intersection of natural hydrology and human passage in a wide-open prairie environment.
