2014 Map of Stanford

About this map

Stanford serves as the focal point of this Judith Basin County landscape, where the grain-growing heritage of the Montana plains is evident in the grid of rural roads and the presence of Railroad St. The town is flanked by essential community infrastructure, including the Stanford Airport to the southwest and the Stanford Cem just to the east. The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses, with Wolf Cr and Skull Cr carving through the prairie to meet near the settlement. The land division follows a strict township and range system, reflected in the straight-line paths of Elevator Rd and Sage Creek Rd, which connect remote farmsteads to the central hub. This 2014 survey captures the enduring layout of a Western agricultural center where the natural drainage of Coyote Cr and Meadow Cr still dictates the placement of roads and homesteads.
