About this map

Morgan Table dominates the northern reaches of this Dawson County landscape, where the terrain breaks into a series of drainage systems feeding into the Yellowstone River basin. The geography is defined by high flatlands like Threemile Table and deep incisions such as Cool Mine Coulee and Plum Coulee. These features represent the characteristic badlands topography of eastern Montana, where water has carved intricate patterns into the sedimentary layers. A network of rural routes, including RD 540 and RD 521, provides access through the various sections and townships of this ranching country. The hydrological network is led by Morgan Cr and Lower Sevenmile Cr, which wind through the township lines of T18N and T19N, illustrating the critical relationship between reliable water sources and the surveyed land divisions in this semi-arid region.
