2020 Map of Strouf Island

About this map

Strouf Island and the elevated Arrow Creek Bench define this section of the Montana landscape, where the meandering course of Arrow Cr serves as the boundary between Chouteau and Fergus counties. This high-plains geography is characterized by a series of significant drainage systems, including Big Coulee to the north and the confluence of Cowboy Creek and Butte Cr. The road network, though sparse, follows the section lines and natural contours of the terrain, with local routes such as N Coffee Creek Rd and Carpenter Rd providing access to the more level benchlands above the creek breaks. The map illustrates the transition from the winding riparian corridors of Coffee Cr to the expansive, open range of the central Montana benchlands, reflecting a landscape dominated by ranching and natural topography.
