About this map

P K Ranch serves as a central landmark in this portion of Yellowstone County, characterized by a complex drainage system that defines the local topography. The map illustrates a network of seasonal and perennial waterways including Railroad Creek and its tributary, the South Fork Railroad Creek, which carve through the Montana landscape. To the north and west, the terrain is further segmented by Dutch Oven Creek, Bullhead Creek, and the uniquely named Churn Dash Creek.

Transportation through this ranching country is dictated by the winding paths of local routes such as Marsh Rd and N Marsh Rd. The intersection of these roads with features like Cow Gulch and the presence of a Spring near the northern border suggest the critical importance of water access in this rural environment. This survey captures the land as it appeared in the early 21st century, showing the enduring spatial relationship between established homesteads and the natural creek beds.
