About this map

First Hay Creek and its northern branch, the N Fork First Hay Creek, define the central drainage of this Richland County landscape. The terrain is a network of coulees and ridges typical of the Missouri River breaks, though the river itself remains beyond the map's eastern border. The southeastern corner reveals a transition into an engineered agricultural landscape where the Main Canal and Lateral G distribute water to the flatter plains. Transportation is dictated by the section-line grid, with primary access provided by MT-201 in the north and MT-200 in the southeast. While largely an area of open rangeland and dryland farming, the presence of a Spring near the canal system suggests the localized importance of water sources in this semi-arid region.
