About this map

Fish Cr and Tony Cr snake through this central Montana landscape, where the high plains meet rising terrain marked by the distinctive Chinamans Hat summit. This 2020 survey records a rural expanse spanning the borders of Wheatland, Golden Valley, and Sweet Grass counties. The land is defined by its drainage systems, including Simmons Cr, Andrews Cr, and Cherry Cr, which have shaped the local topography over millennia.

Human activity is represented by a network of ranching roads and remote lanes like Titeca Ranch Ln and S Shawmut Rd. These routes, alongside Tony Creek Rd and Cherry Creek Rd, reveal the modern infrastructure supporting large-scale land holdings and agricultural operations in the Big Sky Country. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and township divisions that continue to govern property and movement across this open country.
