2017 Map of Reed Springs

About this map

Reed Springs and the surrounding drainage basins of Roosevelt County define this landscape as it appeared in 2017. The topography is characterized by intricate coulee systems and intermittent watercourses, such as Boxelder Cr and Smith Coulee, which carve through the high plains. A prominent landmark, Castle Rock, stands in the northwestern section of the survey, offering a distinct navigational point in an area otherwise dominated by the rhythmic contours of the Missouri River plateau. The transportation network is sparse, consisting of secondary routes like Fas 250 and Powder River Rd, which facilitate movement between rural sections. This survey provides a clear view of the ranching and agricultural infrastructure in northeastern Montana, showing how local roads like Benrud Rd follow the natural topography to connect these distant prairie reaches.
