About this map

Hickson Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this section of Yellowstone County, where the high plains landscape is defined by drainage systems and ranching infrastructure. The map details the local hydrology through the courses of Twelve Mile Creek and Five Mile Creek, which carve through the terrain and influence the layout of the rural road network. Significant topographical features like Burnt Coulee illustrate the natural erosion patterns of the area.

Transportation throughout the region relies on a series of named ranch and county roads, including the Buffalo Springs Ranch Roads and Shepherd Acton Road. These corridors, along with Prairie Hawk Drive and Alexander Road, reveal the modern-day distribution of property and access points across the vast township divisions of T3N and T2N. The alignment of Peterson Road along the northern edge of the survey further highlights the established grid of this cattle-country landscape.
