1978 Map of Merino

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Surprise Creek Colony is a central feature of this central Montana landscape, situated near the North Fork Surprise Creek and its associated Cem. The map reveals a transition between the irrigated creek bottoms and the higher prairie terrain, where seasonal drainages like Fox Coulee and Sun Creek mark the dry land. Transportation in this part of Judith Basin County was defined by the Burlington Northern railroad, which navigates the northern hills through a notable Tunnel. Small settlement points like Merino and Dover anchor the high plains, while a network of springs and gravel pits suggests a rural economy tied closely to the land's geology and water resources. The detailed topography illustrates the elevation changes from the rolling flats to the distinct rise of Antelope Butte in the southeast.
