2011 Map of Merino
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Merino and the Surprise Creek Colony anchor this agricultural and ranching landscape in Judith Basin County. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, including Surprise Creek, Sun Creek, and Wolf Creek, which cut through the high plains toward the North Fork Surprise Creek. Local water management is evident in the placement of the Wilson Dam and the Wendall Willkie Dam, serving the needs of the sparse settlements and livestock in this portion of Montana. To the east, the elevation rises toward Antelope Butte, a prominent landmark overlooking the surrounding coulees like Fox Coulee. Roads such as County Rd-209 and County Rd-202 provide the primary grid for the region, connecting remote outposts like Dover to the wider county network.
