2011 Map of Hodges

About this map

Hodges serves as a focal point in this 2011 survey of Dawson County, Montana, where the prairie landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and small settlements. The area shows evidence of early twentieth-century rail and ranching infrastructure, notably at Long Siding and the settlement of Iona in the northwest. Water management is a critical feature of this arid environment, represented by the Jonas Number 6 Dam and numerous creek systems, including Hodges Creek, Glendive Creek, and Eastman Creek. The map documents the persistent rural road network, with routes like Road 118 and Yates Rd connecting scattered homesteads and pastures. To the south, the terrain becomes more complex as Horse Creek and the South Fork Horse Creek carve through the plains toward Wolf Creek, illustrating the natural watershed patterns of eastern Montana.
