About this map

Sixshooter Creek winds through the southern reaches of this landscape in Stillwater County, providing a vital water source in a region defined by extensive coulees and high plateaus. The placement of the Three Cross Ranch Airport in the northwest corner highlights the importance of private aviation for modern ranching operations in these expansive Montana spaces. The local road network, including Big Coulee Rd and Hines Ranch Rd, follows the natural contours of the terrain, tracing the paths between highland ridges and the deep drainages that characterize the northern and central portions of the quadrangle. This 2024 survey details the contemporary layout of large ranching tracts, where names like Herzog Rd and Meins Rd reflect the enduring footprint of local families on the land.
