About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through this portion of Dawson County, shaping the local geography and the small settlement of Marsh. This rural landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of several tributaries, including Cracker Box Creek and its North Fork, alongside Clear Creek and Monroe Creek. The map reflects a deeply rooted community, evidenced by clustered religious and burial sites such as the Missouri Lutheran Cemetery, the Jehovah Lutheran Cemetery, and the Marsh Cemetery, all located near the town center.

Upland from the river valley, the terrain transitions into the distinct topography of Dry Coulee. The infrastructure of the era is represented by a network of local roads like Whoopup Road and Road 261, which connect the riverfront settlement to the surrounding agricultural sections. The map preserves the specific legal boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, including t14n r53e and t13n r54e, providing a precise record of the land division in this eastern Montana river valley.
