About this map

The county line between Fergus Co and Petroleum Co runs vertically through this Central Montana landscape, marking a transition across ranch lands and high-plains drainages. The local topography is punctuated by the prominent Three Buttes in the southwest, while the drainage of Fords Creek winds eastward through the lower sections. The presence of Blakeslee Rd provides the primary access across these townships, which are characterized by a series of coulees and intermittent streams. These watercourses, including S Fork Bear Cr and Duck Cr, define the watershed of the region during a period of modern ranching and land management. The map reflects a landscape primarily defined by its natural hydrology and the rectilinear boundaries of the Public Land Survey System.
