2017 Map of Ledger

About this map

Ledger serves as a quiet focus in this northern Montana landscape, where the agricultural plains meet a network of coulees and irrigation systems. The terrain is defined by the winding Marias River in the northeast and its tributary, the Dry Fork Marias River, which carves through the undulating prairie. Human impact on the land is visible through extensive water management features such as S Canal, E Ditch, and F Four Ditch, essential for the high-plains ranching and farming economy. Historical transit is etched into the map by the Fort Conrad Trl and the crossing paths of the Valler Hwy and Depot Rd. Named geographical depressions like Pearson Coulee, Swift Coulee, and Little Flat Coulee provide topographic relief, while the county boundary between Toole Co and Pondera Co bisects the northern sections, marking the administrative divisions of this rural expanse.
