2020 Map of Kolberg Ranch

About this map

Kolberg Ranch serves as a primary point of reference in this pocket of Dawson County, Montana, situated at the junction of RD 548 and RD 539. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and creek beds, most notably Thirteenmile Cr and its S Fork Thirteenmile Cr in the north, while Morgan Cr and Cotton Cr carve through the southern sections. This modern survey illustrates the expansive, open-range character of the region, where rural infrastructure is limited to a sparse grid of county roads. The mapping reveals how ranching operations like Kolberg Ranch utilize the natural topography of the creek basins, providing a clear record of land use and water access in the eastern Montana plains during the early 21st century.
