About this map

Roy serves as the central hub for this Fergus County landscape, where the town's layout includes a localized Athletic Field and proximity to a Gravel Pit. The map captures a transition in transportation, notably featuring an Old RR Grade that cuts across the terrain west of the settlement, tracing the legacy of former rail connections in central Montana.

The hydrology of the area is defined by a series of drainages, including the prominent Blood Creek to the north and Box Elder Creek which flows near the townsite. Further south, the terrain becomes more varied around Butte and the headwaters of Rattlesnake Creek, Bear Creek, and Crist Creek. This mid-1980s provisional survey documents the rural infrastructure of the region, from township boundaries to the network of unimproved roads and trails connecting isolated ranching or agricultural sites.
