2020 Map of Girard

About this map

Girard serves as a central reference point in this Richland County landscape, situated near the northern edge of a terrain defined by complex drainage systems and coulees. The map illustrates a high prairie environment where water management is critical, evidenced by Erickson Reservoir and the winding paths of Lone Tree Cr and its northern tributary, N Fork Lone Tree Cr. The land is dissected by numerous geological depressions such as Elkhorn Coulee, while a network of county roads, including Co RD 337 and Co RD 132, provides the primary infrastructure for this ranching and agricultural region. This survey captures the rural character of the Montana plains, showing the relationship between modern township boundaries and the natural watercourses like First Hay Cr and Main Hay Cr that dictate the area's layout.
