2017 Map of Maddux

About this map

Maddux serves as the focal point of this Blaine County landscape, where the high plains of north-central Montana are dissected by an intricate network of drainages. The area is defined by its watercourses, including the central path of Battle Cr and the winding Peoples Cr, which are fed by various branches and forks. This drainage pattern highlights the necessity of reliable water sources for the cattle and ranching operations that have long characterized the region. Landmarks like Murphy Butte and the Bentel Divide provide significant elevation relief, offering clear vantage points across the coulees and creek beds. For those researching local families, the Hungry Hollow Cem near Hungry Hollow Rd stands as a primary genealogical site. The map's road network, featuring Clear Creek Rd and Treasure Ln, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting isolated ranching outposts to the small settlement at Maddux.
