2011 Map of Odland Dam NW

About this map

Been Cemetery serves as a small, quiet landmark in the open ranchland of Wibaux County, offering a tangible connection to the early families who settled this corner of eastern Montana. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the North Fork Cottonwood Creek and the South Fork Cottonwood Creek, which carve subtle valleys across the high plains. In this 2011 survey, the human footprint remains sparse, primarily consisting of a rectilinear grid of section roads and larger thoroughfares like County Rd 261 and Hwy 281. The map captures the enduring character of a remote rural interior, where the placement of a single cemetery or the convergence of two prairie forks provides the primary sense of orientation for researchers and genealogists tracing the history of the region.
