2024 Map of Ross Fork

About this map

Ross Fork sits within a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Judith River and its numerous tributaries in central Montana. This modern U.S. Geological Survey representation of Fergus County reveals a topography sculpted by Ross Fork Creek, Little Rock Creek, and Big Rock Creek, which carve deep coulees through the high plains. The map highlights the King Ranch Colony in the eastern section, a significant agricultural settlement served by its own King Colony Cem. The grid of the Public Land Survey System is overlaid by a network of local roads including Wichman Rd and Kolin Rd, which follow the section lines and natural contours. The settlement patterns shown here reflect the enduring agrarian character of the region, where family-named routes like Louise Creek Ln and Tognetti Rd connect isolated ranching operations across the open terrain.
