2011 Map of Teigen NW

About this map

Three Buttes rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Fergus County, overlooking a high-plains landscape defined by seasonal drainages and early 21st-century water management. The area is characterized by a network of ranch roads and small-scale water infrastructure, including the Delaney Number 2 Dam, Harris Number 1 Dam, and Ducky Number 1 Dam. These reservoirs are critical components of the local pastoral economy, situated along natural watercourses such as South Fork Bear Creek and Fords Creek. The map documents a sparse but deliberate transportation grid, with routes like Welter Divide Rd and Blakeslee Rd connecting isolated homesteads and grazing lands. The presence of Brickyard Creek and Briggs Coulee Rd reflects the naming conventions of early settlers and the topographical nuances of the Montana coulee country.
