About this map

East Redwater Creek and Fox Creek carve through this Richland County landscape, defining a terrain of high plateaus and winding drainage basins. The small settlement of Enid serves as a focal point along the Burlington Northern railroad line, which cuts horizontally across the northern half of the map. This rail corridor represents the primary infrastructure of the early 1970s, connecting the isolated grain-producing regions of eastern Montana to wider markets.

In the southern reaches, the North Fork Burns Creek winds through more complex topographic relief, where the contour lines tighten significantly. A scattered Well presence suggests the ongoing intersection of ranching and resource extraction in this corner of the state. The map reveals a transition from the flatter northern plains near the railroad to the increasingly broken ground of the creek breaks in the south.
