About this map

Wolf Creek and its seasonal tributaries carve a winding path through this corner of the High Plains, where the border between Sheridan Co and Daniels Co marks a straight longitudinal divide in the landscape. The terrain is defined by a sparse network of section roads that follow the township and range lines, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in eastern Montana. Travel through this area relies on gravel and dirt routes like Wolf Creek Rd and S Redstone Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and ranching tracts. While largely undeveloped, the map illustrates the persistence of drainage patterns like Redstone Creek, providing a detailed look at the subtle coulees and ridges that dictated early cattle and sheep grazing patterns in this remote region.
