About this map

Steve Forks and its surrounding drainage systems define this section of Garfield County, where the high plains are carved by seasonal creek beds. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of watercourses including Nancy Russell Cr, Dry Fork Nancy Russell Cr, and N Fork Lodgepole Cr. These intermittent streams dictate the movement across the territory, with local travel facilitated by a sparse grid of rural routes such as Sand Springs Rd and Merlack Rd.

The survey reflects a modern agricultural and ranching environment structured by the Public Land Survey System, spanning townships T17N through T19N. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the remote character of this region, where geography is primarily defined by named natural landmarks like Camp Cr and Lone Tree Cr. This map is a record of the specific drainage patterns and road placements that support the low-density land use typical of this portion of Montana.
