2014 Map of Wallum

About this map

Wallum is the focal point of this Golden Valley County landscape, situated where the high plains meet a network of seasonal drainages. The area is defined by the winding course of Swimming Woman Cr and Careless Cr, which carve subtle topography through the ranchlands. This 2014 survey documents a sparsely populated region of Montana, where the settlement patterns are dictated by the availability of water and the orientation of section-line roads like Hedgesville Rd and Rotheway Rd. The map illustrates the immense scale of the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries for t8n r19e and surrounding ranges meticulously noted. For the researcher or genealogist, the map preserves the exact locations of local connectors such as Pirrie Ln, reflecting the enduring rural infrastructure of the early 21st century.
