About this map

The Sacagawea River winds through this section of Fergus County, cutting across a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high ridges. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, a protected area known for its distinct geology. Prominent local features like Griffee Ridge provide natural landmarks for navigating the complex network of drainage basins, including Griffee Coulee, Dexter Coulee, and Fargo Coulee.

Rural connectivity is established through a sparse grid of named thoroughfares such as Rocky Point Rd, Cimrhakl Rd, and Birdwell Ln. These routes reflect the modern land-use patterns of Central Montana, providing access to remote properties and ranchlands while following the natural contours of the river valleys and high plains. The map clearly illustrates the transition between the high river breaks and the more level township sections.
