About this map

The Heart River meanders across the northern reaches of this landscape, carving through the Curlew Valley and creating a complex drainage network involving Snake Creek and Big Muddy Creek. This 2011 survey of Grant County shows a predominantly agricultural and ranching terrain defined by a rigid section-line road grid, including County Hwy 85 and numerous local avenues like 50th Ave SW.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Otter Creek Cemetery situated near the intersection of 60th St SW, providing a specific point of interest for family research in this rural area. To the southwest, the distinctive rise of Devils Butte serves as a significant natural landmark, while the Cat Coulee Dam indicates localized water management along the seasonal coulees. The map details the transition from the river valley's riparian curves to the high, dry plains punctuated by drainage such as Otter Creek.
