About this map

Glengarry and the surrounding Fergus County ranchlands are defined by a network of seasonal coulees and perennial streams feeding the Judith River basin. The landscape is marked by prominent geological features such as Indian Rock and The Point, which break the drainage patterns of Cottonwood Creek and Coyote Creek. This area of Central Montana maintains a strong connection to its early 20th-century origins, with the small settlements of Hanover and Cottonwood linked by rural thoroughfares like Lower Cottonwood Creek Rd and Cottonwood Cutoff.

Transport through this terrain is highlighted by the Beaver Creek Bridge, which provides passage over Beaver Creek near the landform known as The Gap. Other notable drainage features including King Coulee and Crow Coulee illustrate the complex topography of the prairie, while Big Spring Creek and Lone Pine Creek serve as critical water sources in the northeast and eastern sectors of the quadrangle.
