2011 Map of Elmdale NW

About this map

Nicholson Coulee and West Charlie Creek carve through this rural corner of Richland County, Montana, defining a landscape shaped by water management and a sparse grid of country roads. The northern portion of the quadrangle is marked by local engineering at Tolksdorf Number 1 Dam and Tolksdorf Number 2 Dam, both situated along the upper reaches of the creek system. This 2011 survey documents a contemporary ranching and agricultural environment where transit relies on an established network including County Rd 143 and Fas 201. To the south, drainage continues through Duplisse Creek and Horse Creek, illustrating the natural irrigation patterns essential to this high plains region.
