2017 Map of Hickson Ranch

About this map

Hickson Ranch serves as the namesake landmark for this portion of Yellowstone County, situated within a high-plains landscape defined by seasonal drainages and cattle country infrastructure. This 2017 survey details the complex network of rural access routes, including Buffalo Springs Ranch Roads and Buffalo Springs Rd, which navigate the elevation changes around Burnt Coulee. The hydrologic pattern is dominated by the meandering paths of Five Mile Cr and Twelve Mile Cr, which cut through the open range. Local transportation is grounded by established connectors like Shepherd Acton Rd and Alexander Rd, illustrating the modern layout of ranching properties and section lines in this part of Montana. The map provides a clear record of land use and water resources essential for understanding the contemporary geography of the region.
