About this map

Holland Settlement Cem serves as a central historical marker in this section of Stillwater County, situated among the high plateaus and creek drainages that define the local topography. The landscape is deeply incised by a network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including Toll Creek, Greenwood Creek, and the headwaters of the North Fork Valley Creek. These drainages have historically influenced the placement of rural infrastructure, such as Mountain View Rd and Visser Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land.

Elevated landmarks like Cadillac Hill overlook a sparse, wide-open settlement pattern typical of the Montana plains. The presence of several distinct township and range boundaries, such as t1n r20e and t1n r21e, highlights the systematic land division that governed this agricultural and ranching territory. From Keyser Creek in the south to Struck Creek in the north, the map documents the persistent rural character of the Wheat Basin area.
