About this map

War Horse Nat Wildlife Refuge occupies the southeastern corner of this landscape, marking a transition in land use within the sagebrush-and-coulee country of central Montana. Straddling the boundary of Fergus Co and Petroleum Co, the map reveals a rugged drainage network defined by Elk Creek, Yellow Water Creek, and the smaller Snoose Creek. The terrain is characterized by broad benches like Tennessee Flat and narrow drainages, reflecting a sparse, ranch-oriented settlement pattern typical of the mid-1980s. Traces of human industry appear in the form of scattered prospects and prospect pits, particularly near Bender, alongside essential water infrastructure such as a Water Tank. The mapping emphasizes the complex topography of the North Fork and Tennessee Creek basins, where ephemeral waterways carve through the high plains.
