2014 Map of Ledger

About this map

The Marias River and its tributary, the Dry Fork Marias River, carve deep, winding incisions through this High Plains landscape on the border of Pondera and Toole Counties. This agricultural environment is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure, including the S Canal, E Ditch, and F Four Ditch, which support the farms surrounding the small settlements of Ledger and Fowler. The terrain is marked by significant coulees such as Pearson Coulee and Swift Coulee, while local history is etched into the land via the Fort Conrad Trl. A grid of rural roads like Liberty School Rd and Depot Rd connects these isolated homesteads, reflecting a century-old pattern of Montana dryland farming and river-basin ranching.
