2011 Map of McBridy Spring

About this map

McBridy Spring serves as a quiet center point for this high-plains landscape in Chouteau County, where the topography of the Montana prairie is defined by drainage features like Hells Gulch and Hay Stack Coulee. The map reveals a land managed for water and livestock, anchored by the Three Pronged Fork Dam and White Elephant Reservoir to the north. A network of rural routes, including Genou Rd and Dent Bridge Rd, connects the scattered landmarks of this open country. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, Sample Flat and the Sample Flat Cemetery offer a focal point for genealogical research, documenting the enduring presence of local families near the prominent rise of Haystack Butte. The road system, from Ames Ranch Rd to Hurley Ln, traces the patterns of modern ranching life across this expansive terrain.
