About this map

Bears Paw Mountains define the high ground of this northern Montana landscape, where the drainage networks of Peoples Cr and Battle Cr carve through the high plains. The map records the sparse ranching and agricultural infrastructure of Blaine County, centered on the small community of Maddux and the nearby Bentel Divide. These points of settlement are connected by a network of rural routes such as Clear Creek Rd and Bentel Divide Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Hungry Hollow Cem north of the fork in Battle Cr, a significant landmark in this sparsely populated region. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features like Murphy Butte and Greenough Coulee, which serve as natural anchors for the surrounding range land. The intricate seasonal water system, including Wind Cr and Bean Cr, illustrates the hydrological challenges and land-use patterns of the early 21st-century Montana interior.
