2011 Map of Rudyard NE

About this map

The northern plains of Hill County, Montana, define this landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The topography is dominated by dramatic drainage patterns, most notably the winding paths of Big Coulee and O'Brien Coulee as they cut through the dry terrain. The agricultural and ranching history of the region is evident in the presence of water management structures, such as Sandy Sage Dam and Anderson Lyle Dam, which speak to the persistent need for irrigation and livestock water in this arid environment. Transportation across the expansive territory relies on the north-south alignment of Rudyard Rd, providing a primary artery for local travel and connectivity within this sparsely populated corner of the state.
