2020 Map of Dry Blood Creek East

About this map

Ashley Cem sits as a solitary landmark amidst the drainages of Petroleum County, marking a site of local genealogical interest in this remote landscape. The terrain is defined by the branching waters of Dry Blood Cr and the S Fork Dry Blood Cr, which carve through the high plains toward Shale Coulee. This 2020 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region where life and transport revolve around a few key corridors, including the north-south Valentine Rd and several primitive routes like Tincan Hill Rd and Welter Divide Rd. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and township boundaries, such as t17n r27e, that structure this part of the Montana interior. Small seasonal tributaries like Brush Cr further delineate the coulees and ridges of the northern plains.
