2011 Map of Richey NW

About this map

Redwater River flows through the northwest corner of this Montana landscape, anchoring a rural expanse defined by water management and a sparse road network. In this corner of Richland County, the drainage of Pasture Creek and the South Fork Lisk Creek reveals a pattern of agricultural modification. Numerous small reservoirs and dams, including Othar Number 1 Dam, Johnston Dam, and Lee Sa Number 2 Dam, illustrate the necessity of capturing runoff in this semi-arid environment. The presence of H S Dam further emphasizes how ranching or farming operations have shaped the natural waterways. This 2011 survey serves as a clear record of the local infrastructure, from the path of County Rd 301 to the alignment of Fas 254, providing a foundation for understanding the modern land use of the High Plains.
