2014 Map of Wards Dam

About this map

W Fork Porcupine Cr carves a winding path through the heart of this Valley County landscape, illustrating the drainage patterns typical of the Montana plains. The terrain is defined by the broad expanse of Kansas Flats, where the relief is subtle and the land is surveyed into the rigid squares of the Public Land Survey System. Human presence is marked by a network of rural routes such as Golden Valley Rd, Honrud Rd, and Kerr Rd, which follow section lines across the prairie. The most distinct landmark is Wards Dam, an essential water-management feature for the local ranching and agricultural economy. This 2014 survey serves as a detailed record of land use and water features in the Frazer District, documenting the quiet infrastructure of these high-plains townships.
