2017 Map of Simpson

About this map

Simpson lies at the heart of this North Central Montana landscape, situated in a region defined by the seasonal dynamics of high-plains water and land. The terrain is marked by the winding course of the Milk River to the south and significant depressions such as Wild Horse Lake and Grassy Lake to the north. These water bodies, along with the distinct Spring Coulee Ridge, suggest a geography that dictates the local ranching and transit patterns. The map highlights the essential local markers of rural life, such as the Spring Coulee Cem, located just south of the main settlement. Transportation is dominated by the historically named Old Wild Horse Trl and its modern successor, Wild Horse Rd, which connect the remote prairie holdings to the larger Hill County network. This survey preserves the exact placement of homestead-era landmarks before the shifting winds and erosion of the northern plains might obscure these subtle topographical features.
