About this map

Big Coulee Cr and Sixshooter Cr define the drainage patterns of this high-plains landscape in Stillwater County. The terrain is marked by the expansive ranching operations and remote road networks typical of central Montana, centered around the private Three Cross Ranch Airport in the northwest. This modern survey illustrates how long-established land divisions across t4n r19e and t3n r20e continue to shape the local geography. A network of rural routes, including Hines Ranch Rd, Meins Rd, and Big Coulee Rd, provide the primary access through the undulating coulees. The map serves as a contemporary record of rural infrastructure, tracing family-named landmarks like Herzog Rd and Hoagland Rd across the sections of the Public Land Survey System.
