2024 Map of Lindsay

About this map

Lindsay occupies the northeastern reaches of this landscape, situated where the high plains are dissected by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and coulees. The settlement serves as a focal point for the surrounding cattle country, positioned near the intersection of Fas 470 and Union Rd. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Upper Sevenmile Creek and the Timber Fork, which have carved deep patterns into the Dawson County soil. To the south, the terrain descends into Wolf Coulee, a landform typical of this part of the Montana prairie where water management and drainage patterns dictated the placement of ranching infrastructure and early roads. The mapping of Clear Creek and Cigar Creek illustrates the intricate watershed that characterizes the region, reflecting a landscape where every coulee and creek bed holds significance for local land use and boundary history.
