2017 Map of Progress

About this map

Progress sits at the heart of this Montana landscape, where the high plains terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and local ranching infrastructure. The area is marked by distinctive topographic features like Chinamans Hat and the winding course of Fish Cr as it crosses the boundary between Wheatland and Golden Valley counties. Further south, the map details the terrain as it descends toward Cherry Cr and the Sweet Grass County line. The settlement pattern is largely defined by long-established ranching routes such as S Shawmut Rd and Cherry Creek Rd, which provide access to family-named landmarks like Andrews Ln and Titeca Ranch Ln. This 2017 survey reflects a sparsely populated region where the geography of the creeks—including Tony Cr and Simmons Cr—remains the primary architectural framework for both land ownership and local travel.
