About this map

The town of Grass Range serves as a critical junction in Fergus County, where several drainages of the McDonald Creek system converge. This 2011 survey illustrates the settlement's infrastructure, including the Grass Range Post Office and the Grass Range Rural Fire Dept, centered around the intersection of major regional routes like Tyler Cutoff. The landscape is defined by its ranching heritage, with family-named landmarks such as Degner Ranch Rd, Griffith Ranch Rd, and the Arther Dengel Number 1 Dam reflecting the long-standing management of the local water resources.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites within this quadrangle, including the Grass Range Cemetery south of town and the more remote Dengel Cemetery near the headwaters of Fords Creek. Small-scale aviation and traveler services are also present, marked by the Clark Airport and the Little Montana Truckstop Campground, which support the town's role as a waypoint for those traversing the central Montana plains.
