2020 Map of Rudyard NW

About this map

Fourmile Coulee cuts through this rural portion of Hill County, where the landscape is defined by the high plains and systematic land partitions of the Public Land Survey System. The area is marked by large townships including t34n r8e, where isolated landmarks provide the only breaks in the expansive agricultural terrain. In the eastern part of the quadrangle, Bethel Cem sits as a quiet historical marker along the section lines, serving as a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this part of Montana. The map illustrates a strictly organized network of section-line roads, such as Inverness Rd and Co Rd 70 N, which facilitate movement between the drainages of Big Coulee and the surrounding high ground. This 2020 survey reflects the enduring spatial organization of the northern plains, where natural coulees and precise human geometry coexist.
