About this map

Fig Mountain and the Black Buttes dominate this portion of Garfield County, where the high plains break into a network of seasonal drainages. The landscape is defined by its topographic relief, with prominent landmarks like Joe Ott Butte rising above the surrounding draws. Water distribution follows a branching pattern of creeks, most notably Basin Cr and its W Fork Basin Cr, which carve through the arid terrain.

A sparse network of rural routes, including Co RD and 17220 RD, provides the only access through these expansive sections. The map preserves the original Public Land Survey System grid, illustrating the vast grazing lands and coulees, such as Harston Coulee, that have long characterized this remote section of Montana. This survey serves as a clear record of the physical geography and ranching infrastructure in the early twenty-first century.
