About this map

The Sacagawea River winds through this Fergus County landscape, defining the local geography alongside a network of managed water sources. The map reveals a high-plains environment where water management is central to the land's utility, marked by the presence of the Sloan Reservoir, Jordan Reservoir, Kosier Reservoir, and Lincoln Reservoir. These features, combined with the flow of Antelope Cr, underscore the reliance on irrigation and water storage in this part of Montana.

Surface transportation is characterized by utilitarian routes such as the Wilder Trl and Antelope Ln, which cross the undulating terrain. A significant point of crossing is found at Joslin Bridge, where the river intersects with the local trail system. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the specialized infrastructure of a ranching and agricultural region, illustrating how the landscape has been organized around its water courses and vital river crossings.
