About this map

Moore serves as the central hub of this Fergus County landscape, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad bisects the town diagonally. The settlement's layout is defined by its proximity to the rail line and the presence of Landing Strips and a WT (water tower), reflecting its role as a transportation and agricultural waypoint. To the west, Eddies Corner marks a junction of primary highways, including 87 191, which cross the undulating prairie.

The surrounding terrain is carved by a network of seasonal and perennial waters, including Olsen Creek, Rock Creek, and Little Trout Creek. Local landmarks like Dawkins Springs and the Moore Cem southeast of town provide specific points of interest for those tracing family history. Resource extraction is evident through several Gravel Pit locations and a notable Pipeline cutting through the southern sections, highlighting the industrial infrastructure of Central Montana during the early 1970s.
