About this map

Rothiemay sits at the intersection of a rural road network in Golden Valley County, serving as the primary landmark in this section of the Montana plains. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of several seasonal watercourses, including the curiously named Swimming Woman Cr which meanders through the central sections, alongside Merrills-Springs Cr and Alkali Cr. The map reveals a land divided by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t10n r19e and t9n r20e forming a rigid grid over the natural topography.

Local history is anchored by the Rothiemay Cem, located just north of the main settlement area near Wegner Ln. Transportation follows established routes such as Judith Gap Rd and Rothiemay Rd, illustrating how early 21st-century infrastructure continues to follow the section lines of the original homesteaders. This map is particularly useful for genealogists and researchers tracing the exact location of family plots or the transition of rural holdings in this high plains environment.
