2014 Map of Russell Gulch

About this map

Russell Gulch and Hoppy Gulch carve through the high plains along the border of Sweet Grass and Stillwater counties in this modern topographic study. The landscape is defined by a complex drainage network that includes the east-flowing Whitney Cr and Middle Cr, while the more rugged southern portion is dissected by the Cedar Cr system, including its N Fork Cedar Cr and S Fork Cedar Cr tributaries. The area's land use is largely divided by a series of named rural routes like Bays Rd and Jones Hill Rd, reflecting a dispersed ranching or agricultural pattern typical of south-central Montana. Genealogists and local historians can use these thoroughfares, such as Five Mile Rd and Springtime Rd, to locate historical homestead sites near water sources like E White Beaver Cr and Camp Cr.
