About this map

The Fergus settlement serves as the central point for this high-plains landscape, where the northern reaches of the Judith Mountains dominate the southern topography. Significant elevation changes are marked by Cone Butte and the steep walls of Mitchell Canyon, providing a stark contrast to the drainage patterns of Box Elder Cr and its tributaries that cut across the central ranch lands.

Modern infrastructure, including Horse Ranch Rd and Romundstad Rd, navigates a network of seasonal watercourses and local landmarks like Rindal Reservoir. The map illustrates a specialized terrain of isolated water sources such as Bear Cr, Brush Cr, and Crist Cr, which have long defined property lines and land use in this part of Fergus County. The inclusion of the Township and Range grid system highlights the enduring importance of public land surveys in managing this section of Montana's central mountain front.
