2014 Map of Richey SE

About this map

Big Sheep Mountains dominate the southeastern corner of this Dawson County landscape, where the high plains of eastern Montana are carved by seasonal drainage systems. The hydrologic character of the region is defined by the diverging paths of E Fork Pasture Cr and W Fork Pasture Cr, which navigate the undulating breaks and coulees typical of this ranching country. Transportation is anchored by MT-200 in the northwest, which serves as the primary artery connecting the rural sections. The presence of the Richey Airport indicates the region's reliance on aerial access for large-scale agricultural operations and local connectivity. A network of section-line roads, including Road 431 and Road 439, creates a geometric grid across the township and range divisions, reflecting the systematic land survey and settlement patterns of the American West.
