2014 Map of Ridgway

About this map

The high plains of Carter County are defined by the small settlement of Ridgeway and a network of drainage creeks in this 2014 survey. This portion of southeastern Montana is characterized by a sprawling grid of rural routes, including Hammond Rd and Tauck Rd, which connect isolated ranching and agricultural tracts. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses such as Muskrat Cr, Boxelder Cr, and Corral Cr, which create the topographical variation in an otherwise vast grassland. Names like Stieg Ln and Hopkins Rd reflect the local landholders and families who have shaped the area's development. Other notable features like Hawksnest Cr and Whitetail Cr emphasize the importance of these seasonal or perennial streams to the local geography.
