2017 Map of Lake Mason NW

About this map

Devils Basin dominates the eastern landscape of this Fergus County territory, where the drainage of N Willow Cr and its tributaries carve through the central Montana terrain. The map captures a section of the High Plains transition defined by significant elevation changes and a network of rural roads that often bear the names of local families. These routes, including Graves Rd, Gary Graves Rd, and Harris Rd, provide a skeletal framework for the land divisions across townships such as t11n r24e and t10n r25e. Toward the southern reaches, the land descends toward Snowy Mountain Rd and the headwaters of Jones Cr, illustrating the watershed divide between the Musselshell County border and the surrounding prairie. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring cadastral patterns of the American West, where section lines and creek beds remain the primary markers of human and natural history.
