2024 Map of Madoc

About this map

Madoc sits within a high-plains landscape defined by the drainage patterns of northern Montana. The terrain is deeply incised by Shannon Coulee to the north and Manternach Coulee further south, revealing a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage basins that characterize this portion of Daniels County. The map documents a sparse but deliberate network of section-line roads, including Shannen Creek Rd, Back Rd, and Spring Valley Rd, which provide access to the vast agricultural and grazing tracts. This layout reflects the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries for t36n r48e and t36n r49e clearly delineating the rural grid. The concentration of structures and crossroads near Madoc Rd highlights the central role of this namesake settlement in an otherwise open and windswept agricultural prairie.
