2014 Map of Vananda

About this map

Vananda sits along the Us-12 corridor in this eastern Montana landscape, marking a central point of settlement within the Treasure and Rosebud County borderlands. The geography is defined by high drainage divides and seasonal watercourses, most notably the evocatively named Starved to Death Creek which flows through the southwestern corner. North of Cedar Ridge, the terrain rises toward the slopes of Big Porcupine Creek, while Horse Creek and Anderson Creek carve shallow valleys through the central sections of the survey. Local transportation is anchored by a grid of rural routes including Scott Road, McCaskie Road, and Mission Valley Road, which facilitate access across the vast sections of t8n r37e and surrounding townships. This map provides a clear record of the intersection between early twentieth-century roadway development and the natural drainages that have long dictated the movement of livestock and people in this semi-arid region.
