2017 Map of Rowley NW

About this map

Old US Hwy 87 cuts through the northern sections of this Big Horn County landscape, following a route that historically connected the region's agricultural and ranching centers. This 2017 survey details a terrain defined by its complex drainage network, where the waters of Telegraph Cr and Fly Creek navigate the high-plains topography. The map illustrates a strictly rural environment, showing the section lines of the Public Land Survey System that have dictated land ownership and usage since the initial settlement of the Montana territory. In the southeastern corner, the headwaters of the N Fork Two Leggins Cr emerge, further emphasizing the importance of natural water sources in this dry interior climate. This document is a precise record of the land's contours and remaining historical transit corridors in the modern era.
