About this map

The Powder River meanders through this landscape of high plains and drainages in Montana's ranching country. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial waterways, where the central river valley is fed by Wolf Cr, Magpie Cr, and Wild Cat Cr. This topographic study reveals the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped the land, notably within Poker Jim Gulch and along the eastern reaches of Poker Jim Cr.

Local navigation and ranch access are marked by a grid of named routes like Powderville W Rd, Ellis Rd, and Pearce Rd, which trace the section lines and coulees. These roads connect remote parcels across several townships, including t3s r52e and t4s r52e. The map serves as a detailed record of water rights and land management, identifying specific tributaries such as Little Pilgrim Cr and Ta Cr that are essential to life in this arid region.
