About this map

Tiger Ridge dominates the southern landscape of this Hill and Blaine County borderland, where the terrain is defined by a series of dramatic coulees and creek drainages. The north-flowing Clear Cr serves as a central artery through the area, joined by the headwaters of Little Boxelder Cr and Three Mile Cr. This topography, characteristic of the northern Montana plains, shows a pattern of high ridges and deep erosion channels that historically dictated the placement of ranch access roads such as Clear Creek Rd and Staff Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the survey lines of several townships, including t31n r17e and t32n r18e, which intersect with prominent natural landmarks like Daveys Coulee and Threemile Coulee. The map provides a clear record of the rural infrastructure and land divisions between the two counties as they stood in the early twenty-first century, anchored by the significant elevation of the ridge to the south.
