2024 Map of Marsh

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide, braided path through the center of this Dawson County landscape, anchoring the small settlement of Marsh. This river valley community is defined by its deep cultural roots, evident at the Gluecksthal Lutheran Ch and the nearby Marsh Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing the history of local homesteading families. The surrounding terrain is marked by a network of drainage systems, including Cracker Box Creek and its North Fork, along with the distinct Dry Coulee to the east. Transportation through this expansive area is facilitated by RD 260 and various rural routes like Whoopup RD, which navigate the high ground above the river's floodplain. The map captures a moment of transition between the fertile river bottomlands and the dissected uplands of eastern Montana.
