2011 Map of Fergus

About this map

Fergus serves as the central hub of this Central Montana landscape, situated where the East Fork Box Elder Creek meets the main branch of Box Elder Creek. The geography is defined by a series of north-flowing drainages including Brush Creek and Dry Armells Creek, which cut through the high plains. Significant topographical markers like Cone Butte in the south and Mitchell Canyon provide distinct landmarks for navigators and residents. Water management is evident through rural infrastructure such as Rindal Dam and Elderly Dam, supporting the ranching and agricultural operations connected by gravel routes like Romunstad Rd and Horse Ranch Rd. This map illustrates the sparse, organized settlement patterns of the Judith Basin area, where life revolves around the intersection of vital water sources and long-established road networks.
