About this map

Coyote Bench dominates the northeastern corner of this landscape, marking a distinct geographical rise overlooking a complex network of seasonal drainages. This high ground is flanked by the Judith Basin County line, with a rural infrastructure defined by long, straight thoroughfares like Benchland Rd and Hoosac Rd. The terrain below the bench is carved by numerous watercourses, including the winding Dry Wolf Cr and Willow Cr, which drain the open range land typical of Central Montana.

Remote livestock or homesteading operations are suggested by features such as Walker Spring and named access points like Porter Ln and Turnip Ln. These roads often follow the natural contours of the land, as seen with Sage Creek Rd tracking alongside the stream. The survey highlights a classic Big Sky ranching environment where water sources like Spring Cr and Coyote Cr are the primary landmarks in an otherwise open, undulating prairie.
