2020 Map of Ledger NW

About this map

The Marias River carves a deep, winding path through the high plains south of Shelby, defining the southern boundary of the town. This modern 2020 survey reveals a landscape shaped by both natural erosion and rural infrastructure, where numerous drainage systems like Dumas Coulee, Moore Coulee, and Schultz Coulee cut through the benchlands toward the river valley. The map documents the local water management essential for high-plains life, featuring the Ed McIntyre Reservoir and the Wanken Reservoir, alongside the K o Ditch in the south. Transportation and land use are clearly delineated, from the industrial Shelby Sand and Gravel operations to the residential cluster at Marias Acres, all connected by a grid of farm-to-market roads like Lincoln Rd and Hjartarson Rd that trace the section lines of Toole and Pondera counties.
