About this map

Red Basin dominates the central landscape of this Wheatland County survey, where the drainages of the American Fork and Spring Creek converge. The terrain is defined by its water sources, most notably at Big Spring, which feeds into the local creek system amidst the undulating topography of Altman Coulee. This high-plains environment is punctuated by long-established ranching and transit landmarks such as Ten O'Clock Gate, situated at a key junction of Red Bridge Road.

Remote settlements and locales like The Madison reflect the sparse, large-acreage land use patterns of central Montana. The map provides a precise look at the hydrology of the region, tracing the paths of McVey Creek, Webb Creek, and Fish Creek. These natural features, combined with the section-line roads like Retz Road and Cooney Road, offer a detailed picture of the rural infrastructure as it stood in the early 21st century.
