About this map

North Fork East Redwater Creek and the southern East Redwater Creek define the drainage patterns of this eastern Montana landscape in Richland County. The terrain is characterized by intricate coulees and draws, most notably Carda Coulee in the east, which feed into the larger creek systems. This modern 2024 survey illustrates a rural environment shaped by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t24n r53e and t23n r52e dictating the placement of county roads. These thoroughfares, including Co RD 317 and Co RD 133, follow the section borders, revealing how early twentieth-century land division continues to influence the modern transportation network. Northward, Horse Creek winds through the hills, providing further evidence of the region's reliance on these seasonal watercourses for natural drainage.
