2011 Map of Mosquito Springs

About this map

Mosquito Springs provides a critical water source in this arid stretch of Blaine County along the Montana-Saskatchewan border. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Woody Island Creek, which meanders across the northern and central sections of the quadrangle. Significant topographical relief is found at Murray Coulee, where the terrain drops into the drainage system. The human imprint on this borderland is primarily represented by a sparse network of section roads, including Jenks Rd and Sod Buster Rd, which facilitate movement between scattered agricultural holdings. These roads, along with Bramsom Rd, follow the rigid township and range grid, illustrating the systematic division of land in the rural West.
