About this map

Hay Basin forms the centerpiece of this Yellowstone County landscape, where the drainage of Dean Creek and its East Fork carve through the Montana terrain. The map reveals a systematic grid of rural transit that hints at the area's agricultural and ranching legacy, defined by routes like Dailey Rd and Schoolhouse Rd. This network of roads, including Oswald Rd and Sandbak Rd, likely follows early property lines and access routes to isolated homesteads and pastures.

The presence of Fulcher Creek and several named country lanes, such as Rising Sun Rd and Windmill Rd, provides a clear view of the water sources and infrastructure necessary for sustaining life in this region. This survey serves as a precise record of the land at the start of the 2010s, marking the boundaries along the North County Line Rd and the persistent pathways like Stephenson Rd that connect this rural basin to the wider county.
