About this map

The tiny settlement of Epsie sits along Us-212 in eastern Montana, where the road crosses the winding drainage of Mizpah Cr. This high plains landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal watercourses and distinctive landmarks that rise from the prairie. To the west, the prominent Mc Allister Butte serves as a clear navigational point, while Castle Rock and Rattlesnake Butte provide vertical relief in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.

A network of local ranch roads, including Burley Rd, connects the isolated draws of Sanders Cr, Serviceberry Cr, and Rock Springs Cr. The mapping of small features like the 04S49E31DCDA01 Spring and various forks of the local creeks illustrates the vital importance of water sources in this semi-arid ranching country. The land is strictly organized by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the grid of township and range boundaries such as t4s r49e and t5s r49e.
