About this map

Ingals Dam stands as a focal point for water management in this Petroleum County landscape, where the prairie is dissected by a network of drainage systems. The northern reaches are defined by Cat Cr and its associated Cat Creek Cem, a small burial ground situated near the creek's path. Further south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it drops into Jackson Coulee and Bull Springs Coulee, features that emphasize the erosive character of the central Montana plains.

Transportation is minimal, anchored by Petrolia Bench Rd in the southeastern corner. The map reveals a land structured by water and ranching boundaries, with Brush Cr, Box Elder Cr, and McDonald Cr providing essential drainage across the township lines. The spatial arrangement of these features suggests a remote environment where small landmarks like the dam and cemetery serve as critical navigation points for those working the surrounding range.
