About this map

The Yellowstone River flows along the northern edge of this landscape, carving a distinct boundary near the prominent heights of Barrs Bluffs. This region of eastern Montana is defined by its transition from the river valley to the elevated plateau of Fallon Flat, a broad expanse that dominates the central portion of the survey. The topography is intricately dissected by a network of drainage systems, including Bad Route Creek and Cabin Creek, which cut through the coulees and draws typical of the local terrain.

Rural infrastructure is primarily composed of established gravel and local access roads such as Marsh Rd and Red Hills Rd. The map also captures the administrative division between Dawson and Prairie counties, providing a precise look at the township and range lines that have organized these ranchlands for generations. Researchers can trace the winding course of Spring Creek and Ash Creek as they move through the hills south of the main river valley.
