2011 Map of Teigen

About this map

Teigen stands at the intersection of early twentieth-century ranching life and the expansive drainage systems of central Montana. This 2011 survey highlights the sparse settlement pattern of Petroleum County, where the small community of Teigen is defined by its proximity to the winding course of McDonald Creek. To the north, the landscape is anchored by the waters of War Horse Lake and the engineered structure of Warhorse Dam, which manage the seasonal flows in an arid environment. The map details the intricate network of coulees and draws that feed into Buffalo Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology necessary for survival in this high-plains region. The presence of these specific water management features alongside the primary settlement provides a clear record of the area's essential infrastructure at the start of the 2010s.
