About this map

Fish Creek and Tony Creek meander through this section of central Montana, where the terrain is marked by the distinctive elevation of Chinamans Hat. This landscape at the junction of Golden Valley, Wheatland, and Sweet Grass counties reflects a rural ranching environment defined by its watercourses rather than dense settlements. The map traces the paths of several drainages, including Andrews Creek and Simmons Creek, which shape the local topography.

Transport through this part of the Big Sky Country is facilitated by a network of established local thoroughfares such as Tony Creek Rd and S Shawmut Rd. The presence of Berg Rd and Cherry Creek Rd underscores the connectivity between isolated homesteads and grazing lands. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries that have governed Montana land division since the original homesteading era.
