About this map

Arrow Creek winds through a deeply dissected landscape along the border of Chouteau and Fergus Counties, anchoring a region defined by high tablelands and an intricate network of drainage coulees. The vast Everson Bench dominates the central and eastern portions of the map, providing a level upland that supported the small settlement of Everson. This community, though sparse, is anchored by the Everson Community Hall and the nearby Everson Cem.

The map reveals a rural economy dependent on the land and local water sources, such as Shake Spring and Coffee Creek. Local infrastructure is represented by the Lincoln Sch and several Gravel Pit sites, reflecting the essential services needed for this isolated ranching territory. From Rivers Ranch in the north to the southern reaches of Buffalo Coulee, the survey documents the traditional land-use patterns of the Montana plains before significant modern development.
