2024 Map of Red Hill

About this map

Sapphire Village serves as the primary residential anchor in this landscape where the Judith River and its numerous tributaries carve through the Montana terrain. The area's agricultural history is etched into the earth through irrigation projects like Belden Ditch and Waite Ditch, while the namesake Red Hill rises above a complex network of coulees. Early settler history is marked by the Larson Cem near the northern border, situated along a stretch of rural road near Sage Creek. The map documents a rugged hydrography defined by the North Fork Courtneys Creek and South Fork Courtneys Creek, alongside several named drainage ways such as Coal Bank Coulee and Alice Coulee. These features illustrate the traditional ranching and water-rights patterns characteristic of Judith Basin County.
