About this map

Moccasin and the northern outskirts of Hobson define this central Montana landscape, where the high plains meet the intricate drainages of the Judith River. This survey captures a region organized by a rigid grid of country roads, such as Stockfarm Rd and Silo Bench Rd, which serve the agricultural heart of Judith Basin County. The presence of the Murray Ditch and the 14n14e01bc 01 Spring highlights the critical role of water management in this semi-arid environment, supporting the farmsteads scattered across the townships.

Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Moccasin Cem and the distinctive terrain of Big Sagebrush Coulee and Broken Pipe. The mapping of small-scale features, from Macaroni Hill Rd to the various unnamed structures near the settlements, provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure as it stood in the early 21st century. This area remains a window into the enduring ranching and farming traditions of the Judith Basin.
