About this map

Klandl Headquarters and the nearby Klandl Ranch stand as focal points of activity in this semi-arid ranching landscape on the Montana-North Dakota border. The presence of a Flowing Water Well north of the ranch and several scattered water management structures, including Olson Dam, Folkord Dam, and Buxbaum Number 2 Dam, underscores the critical importance of water conservation for livestock and agriculture in this environment. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage network where O'Brien Creek and Devitt Creek carve through the plains, eventually feeding toward the Missouri River basin. A system of section-line roads and forest service routes like 816 and 8165 provides the primary infrastructure for the sparsely populated area, connecting the remote ranching operations to the wider region of Richland County.
