About this map

The Judith River cuts a prominent north-south path through this part of Fergus County, joined by several significant tributaries including Ross Fork Cr and Little Rock Cr. The landscape is defined by the broad drainage basins of the Missouri River watershed, where the small settlement of Ross Fork sits near the center of the survey area. This region's agricultural character is evident in the grid-based road system, including routes like Kolin Rd and Wild Rose Rd, which navigate the various coulees and sections of the Public Land Survey System.

The eastern portion of the map is marked by the sharp descent into King Coulee and the presence of King Colony Rd, pointing to the communal land use patterns characteristic of the area's Hutterite colonies. Throughout the terrain, smaller watercourses like Big Rock Cr have carved the earth, creating a complex series of benches and valleys that dictated the placement of local thoroughfares such as Tognetti Rd and Wichman Rd.
