2024 Map of Indian Arrow

About this map

Indian Arrow is situated along a network of drainage systems that define the geography of this Yellowstone County landscape. The area is marked by the course of Indian Creek and its namesake road, which run parallel to the southern reach of the quadrangle. To the north, the terrain transitions into more complex topography featuring Burnt Coulee and Three Wolf Creek. The map documents a predominantly rural environment where access is facilitated by local routes like W Arrow Creek Rd and Milam Rd. These roads often follow the natural contours shaped by Arrow Creek and Girl Creek, reflecting a land-use pattern dictated by the semi-arid conditions of central Montana. This contemporary survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates how historical township lines like t1n r28e continue to organize the sparsely settled plains and breaks of the region.
