About this map

Hobson stands at the northwestern corner of this Central Montana landscape, where the agricultural plains meet a network of coulees and springs. The area is defined by the winding course of Ross Fork Cr and its tributaries, including Olsen Cr and Dawkins Br. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching region marked by small settlements like Hauck and Sipple, the latter situated along the eastern boundary near Us-191.

Surface water is a critical feature of this high-plains environment, with numerous named springs such as 14N15E18AB__01 Spring and 14N15E20AA__01 Spring dotting the drainages. The topography transitions from the open expanses of Gumbo Flats to the deeper incisions of Big Coulee and Weber Coulee in the south. The road network, including Jack Rabbit Rd and Gumbo Flats Rd, traces the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the orderly division of this vast Judith Basin and Fergus County borderland.
