About this map

The high plains of eastern Montana meet at the Garfield Co and Prairie Co line, where the land is defined by a dendritic network of ephemeral drainages and intermittent streams. This modern topographical study illustrates a sparsely populated landscape where human presence is primarily marked by long-distance gravel routes like Big Sheep Mountain Rd and Crow Rock Rd. The terrain is deeply incised by multiple coulees, including Beaver Coulee, Tree Coulee, and Neuhardt Coulee, which serve as the primary geographical landmarks in this open country.

Water features are seasonal but significant for local ranching and land management, with Timber Cr, Slinker Cr, and Chalk Butte Cr carving narrow paths through the various townships. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, spanning from T14N to T16N, and offers a precise view of the topography surrounding Timber Creek Rd as it traverses the divide between local basins.
