About this map

Big Dry Creek and its many tributaries carve a network of drainage channels across this portion of Garfield County, defining a landscape dominated by the semi-arid plains of eastern Montana. The map illustrates a region structured by the Public Land Survey System, with the intersection of several townships including t18n r39e and t17n r38e. While the terrain is largely rural and characterized by wide coulees such as Oliver Coulee and Russian Coulee, human infrastructure is present in the form of state routes like MT-200 and MT-59. A notable crossing point occurs at the Sand Creek Bridge in the southwestern quadrant, where the road meets the winding path of Sand Creek. The density of named waterways, from Vail Cr to Jones Cr, highlights the vital importance of drainage and seasonal water flow in this ranching country.
