2017 Map of Intake NW

About this map

Burns Cr and its various tributaries carve a series of breaks across this landscape in Dawson County. The terrain is defined by a rigorous network of section lines and secondary roads, such as Rd 527 and Rd 532, which reflect the Public Land Survey System structure common in eastern Montana. A notable historical landmark in this agricultural and ranching region is the Immanuel Lutheran Cem, situated in the northern half of the map. This site provides a focal point for genealogical interest in an area otherwise characterized by drainage basins and remote access routes like Uv 31-E. To the south, the landscape transitions toward the Thirteenmile Cr drainage, illustrating the complex topography that dictated early settlement patterns and land use in this part of the state.
