2014 Map of West Fork

About this map

West Fork sits at the center of this rural Daniels County landscape, where the agricultural and transport patterns of northeastern Montana are clearly defined. The terrain is marked by the winding course of the W Fork Poplar River in the northeast and the drainage of Hell Cr in the south. The placement of the Oglesby Farms Inc Airport near Oglesby Rd highlights the importance of aerial access for large-scale ranching and farming operations in this part of the state. A network of section-line roads, including Peerless Rd and Groseth Rd, provides the essential structure for movement between isolated homesteads and water sources like Walters Spring. This 2014 survey captures a moment when traditional land use and modern infrastructure, such as the Prairie Dell Rd, intersect in the Great Plains.
