About this map

Sioux Pass serves as the central hub of this eastern Montana landscape, where the primary roadway cuts through the undulating terrain of Richland County. The small community is marked by its Town Hall and a nearby Substa, serving the surrounding agricultural and ranching operations. The geography is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and coulees, most notably Cedar Coulee to the north and the winding drainage of Fourmile Creek.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in the form of a Gravel Pit near Sioux Pass and several scattered drill holes and wells, hinting at the subsurface resources being tapped during the early 1970s. The presence of St Peters Ch near North Fork First Hay Creek provides a focal point for genealogical research, anchoring the rural homesteads that dot the hills between Jackson and Main Hay Cr.
