About this map

Olive serves as the focal point of this ranching and grazing landscape in southeastern Montana, situated where Mizpah Rd meets MT-59. The drainage patterns of the Powder River Basin define the local geography, characterized by the branching waters of Ash Creek, including both the N Fork Ash Cr and S Fork Ash Cr. These seasonal watercourses are vital landmarks in a terrain shaped by wide coulees and draws, such as those surrounding Y T Cr and Lake Cr.

Transport through this part of Powder River County is facilitated by a few primary routes like Camp Creek Rd, which connects the high ground between watersheds. The map provides a look at the land division under the Public Land Survey System, showing sections within t3s r50e and surrounding townships. From Mizpah Cr in the south to Johnson Cr in the north, the naming of these small creeks reflects the early settlement history and cattle-driving routes of the Montana plains.
