About this map

The agricultural plains of Judith Basin Co and Fergus Co are bisected by the winding courses of the Judith River and Ross Fork Creek in this 1970 snapshot of central Montana. The settlement of Kolin sits along the Burlington Northern railroad line in the northern portion of the map, while Hobson occupies the southwestern corner near the confluence of several waterways.

Evidence of local irrigation and infrastructure is prominent, including the Murray Ditch and several Landing Strips that serve the surrounding ranching community. The map details the drainage patterns of the region through features like Louse Creek, Olsen Creek, and Dawkins Branch, reflecting a landscape defined by its riparian corridors and the industrial presence of the railway that connects these small prairie outposts.
