2017 Map of Pleasant Prairie NW

About this map

Orville Cem serves as a lone cultural landmark within this corner of the Poplar District, situated along the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Eagle Cr and the multi-branched Smoke Cr, which carve through the high plains of northeastern Montana. The survey illustrates a meticulous grid of rural infrastructure, where long-established paths like the Mail Route Rd and the R-Y Trl intersect with family-named corridors such as Vaubel Rd, W Bjerke Rd, and Kurtz Rd. This network of section-line roads and named tracks reflects the enduring ranching and farming divisions of the Big Sky country, showing how modern transportation still follows the historical township and range boundaries established in the late 19th century.
