About this map

Fergus serves as a small point of reference in this landscape defined by the drainage systems of Central Montana. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways, including the winding course of Box Elder Cr and its tributaries like the E Fork Box Elder Cr. These creek beds have carved the terrain, creating distinct landforms such as the Mitchell Canyon in the western reaches of the quadrangle.

Southward, the elevation rises sharply into the Judith Mountains, where Cone Butte stands as a prominent landmark. This 2020 survey details the modern rural infrastructure, showing the relationship between established thoroughfares like Horse Ranch Rd and Romundstad Rd and the natural topography of the basin. The survey captures the interface between the open plains and the mountainous uplands, providing a clear view of the area's hydrology and modern road network.
