1983 Map of Richey SE

About this map

Richey Airport sits at the northern edge of this landscape in Dawson County, serving as a primary landmark in a region defined by its drainage systems. The terrain is deeply carved by the East Fork Pasture Creek and the West Fork Pasture Creek, which dominate the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. These waterways create a complex network of coulees and ridges typical of the Montana plains. Survey markers like BM 2522 and BM 2557 provide specific elevation data points across the undulating surface. This 1983 provisional edition, based on earlier aerial photography, captures the rural character of the area where Township and Range boundaries meet, highlighting the sparse but deliberate infrastructure required for aviation and land management in this part of the state.
