About this map

The Redwater River flows through the northern reaches of this Eastern Montana landscape, defining a terrain shaped by winding drainage networks. This 2020 survey captures the rural boundary where Dawson County and Richland County meet, showing a region dominated by wide open spaces and traditional land divisions. The hydrology of the area is further marked by the presence of S Fork Lisk Cr in the northeast and the meandering path of Pasture Cr, which traverses the southern half of the quadrangle.

Infrastructure is sparse but critical for local connectivity, anchored by Fas 254 and secondary routes like Co Rd 301 and Rd 620. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, avoiding the steep descents of features like H S Coulee. The map provides a clear view of the modern agricultural and ranching layout in this section of the Great Plains, illustrating how section lines and transportation routes adapt to the river valleys and coulees.
