2011 Map of Double S Hill

About this map

The Milk River and Frenchman Creek converge in this section of north-central Montana, defining a landscape of wide river bottoms and seasonal drainage paths. Local ranching history is anchored by family-named holdings such as Galiger's Ranch, Whitford's Ranch, and Hunter's Ranch, which sit among the many named coulees that channel runoff toward the river. The presence of Bone Crossing and Jordan Crossing suggests historical points of transit across the water, while the Nelson South Canal indicates the importance of irrigation and water management for the region's agricultural viability. High points like Double S Hill and Turkey Track Hill overlook a network of rural roads, including Milk River Rd and Frenchman Creek Rd. The terrain is further marked by unique water sources like Negro Jakes Spring and Wrights Spring, essential landmarks in a region defined by its hydrology and livestock operations.
