About this map

American Fork meanders through the heart of this Wheatland County landscape, carving a valley between the elevated terrain of Red Basin and The Madison. This part of Montana is defined by its drainage network, where the waters of Lebo Creek, McVey Creek, and Labrie Creek converge in the north. The presence of Big Spring and the drainage of Altman Coulee into Fish Creek in the south suggest a landscape where water sources were vital for early ranching operations. Rural thoroughfares like Rietz Rd and Red Bridge Rd trace the paths established by long-standing land divisions, providing access to the open range and remote coulees that characterize this high-plains environment.
