2020 Map of Roy NW

About this map

Sacagawea River winds through the southeastern corner of this Fergus County landscape, providing a critical drainage point for the high plains of central Montana. The terrain is defined by the elevation changes of Snell Ridge in the north and the deep incisions of Antelope Coulee to the east. Water remains the primary architect of the local geography, evidenced by the path of Dry Armells Cr as it cuts across the western sections. Remote transportation routes like Mabee Rd and Birdwell Ln provide the only significant man-made infrastructure in this sparsely settled region, marking the section lines of the township and range system. This 2020 survey records the enduring character of the prairie, where the network of ephemeral creeks and ridges continues to dictate the layout of rural access roads.
