2011 Map of Sourdough School

About this map

Sweet Grass Creek and its many tributaries carve through this section of Sweet Grass County, defining the drainage patterns of the Montana landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a network of watercourses, including Dry Fork Sweet Grass Creek and the East Fork Sweet Grass Creek, which converge to support the local ranching and agricultural environment. A notable landmark in the central portion of the quadrangle is the Gods Country Number 1 Dam, which manages the flow along the Dry Fork. The human imprint on this area is primarily represented by rural access roads such as Gibson Rd, Howie Rd, and the curiously named Harms Way, connecting remote homesteads and grazing lands across the varied terrain of Sourdough Creek and Wildcat Creek.
