About this map

West Fork Willow Creek flows through this corner of Toole County, a landscape defined by an extensive network of reservoirs and water management infrastructure for local agriculture. The northern portion of the quadrangle is punctuated by uniquely named features such as Sagittarius Dam and the Three Dollar Bill Dam, reflecting the personal and often whimsical history of ranching in this part of Montana.

Large-scale ranching operations are anchored by the Bar Z F Ranch Incorporated Number 1 Dam, while the grid of rural roads—including Telstad Rd, White Rd, and Adamson Rd—reveals the systematic sectioning of the high plains. Other water features like Westermark Dam and White Dam suggest the vital importance of irrigation and stock water in a region where natural watercourses are few and far between.
