About this map

Bad Route Cr and its tributaries carve a network of drainage patterns across this section of Dawson County, Montana. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic divide between the Clear Cr drainage to the north and the Bad Route system to the south. Transport through this prairie terrain is dictated by a grid of rural connectors, including Rd 217 and Rd 238, which navigate the subtle ridges and coulees. The map illustrates a contemporary rural landscape where geography is anchored by watercourses like Cracker Box Cr and E Fork Bad Route Cr. This modern survey provides a detailed view of the township and range boundaries that organize the vast open spaces of the Montana plains, showing the persistence of the Public Land Survey System in the 21st century.
