About this map

The settlement of Sedan serves as the focal point for this rural Montana landscape, which is defined by its complex network of seasonal and perennial drainage. Positioned along the western edge of Battle Ridge, the community is supported by the Sedan Rural Fire Dist and anchored historically by the Sedan Cemetery. To the south, the topography rises toward Nixon Peak, where the headwaters of Nixon Creek and Brackett Creek begin their descent.

A distinct pattern of agricultural land use follows the winding paths of Flathead Creek and its many tributaries, including Carrol Creek and Cache Creek. The local road network, featuring routes like Sedan Rd and W Flathead Creek Rd, illustrates how human settlement has adapted to the contours of the Green Canyon and the surrounding mountain foothills. This survey captures the area's transition from high-elevation peaks to the fertile drainage basins that have sustained this part of Gallatin County for generations.
