About this map

Grass Range serves as the focal point of this Fergus County survey, showing the community's layout near the confluence of several prominent drainages. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of North Fork Mc Donald Creek, South Fork Mc Donald Creek, and Chippewa Creek. A notable historical detail is the Old Railroad Grade which cuts across the terrain, indicating the path of former rail commerce that once supported this ranching region.

Smaller settlements and local infrastructure provide more granular detail, including the community of Fords to the north and a Trailer Park on the outskirts of Grass Range. Local land use is documented through the inclusion of a Gravel Pit, a Landing Strip, and a Cem, alongside community spaces like the Athletic Field. The presence of several Flowing Wells suggests the importance of water management in this Montana prairie environment.
