About this map

Birch Creek Colony and Pondera Colony anchor the northern landscape of this Pondera County study, illustrating the distinct communal settlement patterns of the Montana plains. The terrain is defined by a complex network of coulees and river forks, including the North Fork-Dry Fork Marias River and the meandering Dupuyer Creek. The small community of Dupuyer sits at a crossroads in the western portion of the map, serving as a focal point for local ranchers and residents.

Southward, the land transitions into the Blackfoot Valley Conservation Area at the border of Pondera and Teton counties. This area is characterized by significant topographic relief, with drainage features like Jensen Coulee and Bills Coulee cutting through the high plains. The map meticulously records the water management infrastructure vital to this arid region, including the B Four Ditch and D Canal, which support agriculture alongside natural landmarks like Crocker Springs.
