2020 Map of Tyler

About this map

The settlement of Tyler anchors this Central Montana landscape, reflecting the ranching heritage of Fergus County at the start of the 2020s. This drainage-rich territory is defined by the convergence of several named waterways, including Flatwillow Creek and Durfee Creek, which carve through the high plains. A clear sense of the local community's footprint is visible at the Tyler Cemetery, while the presence of the 16 Ranch Airport highlights the continued importance of private aviation in navigating these expansive western distances. Access through the region is primary facilitated by Upper Flatwillow Road, which traces the contours of the namesake creek. The map provides a detailed look at the land partitions and natural drainages like Spring Creek and Buck Creek that have dictated settlement patterns and land use in this part of the state for generations.
