2020 Map of Elmdale

About this map

Elmdale and its surroundings in Richland County are defined by a network of drainage systems and high-plains terrain. The settlement itself is centered near the intersection of Co RD 321 and Co RD 139, serving as a focal point in a landscape marked by deep coulees and seasonal creeks. To the northeast, Hanson Coulee cuts through the elevation, while Big Basin Coulee dominates the central portion of the map, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of this Montana region. Local genealogy is anchored at the Elmdale Cem, which overlooks the winding path of Middle Charlie Cr. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and county roads, such as Co RD 318 and Co RD 143, which provide access to the various forks of W Charlie Cr and Shack Cr, showing how ranching and agriculture have adapted to the area's natural topography.
