About this map

The Yellowstone River anchors this landscape in eastern Montana, carving through the terrain south of the small community of Marsh. This settlement serves as a focal point for local history, notably housing three distinct burial grounds: the Marsh Cem, Missouri Lutheran Cem, and Jehovah Lutheran Cem. These sites, clustered together near the river’s north bank, suggest a concentrated spiritual and social center for the surrounding ranching and farming community.

A network of local routes like Whoopup Rd and various numbered roads such as RD 260 and RD 241 connect the dissected uplands to the river valley. The topography is defined by numerous drainage systems, including Cracker Box Cr, Clear Cr, and the appropriately named Dry Coulee. The presence of the N Fork Cracker Box Cr and Monroe Cr further illustrates the complex watershed feeding into the Yellowstone, which remains the primary geographic feature of the region.
