2017 Map of Thurlow

About this map

Thurlow occupies a significant bend in the Yellowstone River, marking a point where early ranching and transport infrastructure met the high plains of Rosebud County. This 2017 survey shows the enduring geography of the river bottomlands, where the modern interstate corridor follows the historical path of Old US Hwy 10 and Frontage Rd. The landscape north of the river is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages including Goose Cr, Bull Cr, and Sand Cr, which cut through the high ground. Local landmarks such as Jack Creek Hill and the Sand Creek Bridge indicate the established rural road system, while the township and range lines of t7n r43e and t6n r43e provide a clear grid for tracing land ownership and historical property boundaries in this Montana river valley.
