About this map

Negro Hollow and the surrounding drainage systems of Milligan Cr define the topography of this section of Jefferson County. The landscape is marked by prominent natural corridors including Timber Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, which serve as primary features in this part of Montana. These canyons and hollows historically dictated the placement of local routes such as Boulder Cutoff Rd and Cottonwood Rd, which follow the natural breaks in the terrain.

Water sources are vital landmarks in this arid environment, represented by the isolated Rock Spring. Settlement is sparse, with development largely confined to isolated road segments like Shoddy Springs Rd and Charles Way. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, showing the junction of Townships 2 and 3 North across Ranges 1 and 2 West, offering researchers a precise way to locate specific land parcels and topographical landmarks.
