About this map

Ross Fork Creek meanders through this portion of Judith Basin County, defining a landscape shaped by water management and ranching. The small settlements of Hobson, Hauck, and Sipple serve as the primary human anchors in this expanse, connected by a network of local roads such as 2nd Ave E. The region is marked by significant topographical depressions, including Big Coulee, Weber Coulee, and Hauck Coulee, which channel drainage into the larger creek systems.

Water infrastructure is particularly prominent, reflecting the area's agricultural priorities. Numerous named barriers like Aries Dam, Haven Reservoir Dam, and Dolomites Dam dot the map, alongside the Miller Brothers Livestock Reservoir Dam. These features, along with Olsen Creek and the Dawkins Branch, illustrate the importance of irrigation and livestock support in this Montana prairie environment during the early 21st century.
