About this map

The Judith River carves a deep path through Fergus County in this 2014 survey, defining a landscape of high benches and steep-walled drainages. The river serves as the central artery for a complex network of coulees, including Threemile Coulee, Fivemile Coulee, and Gilkey Coulee, which drain the surrounding highlands toward the main channel. Notable level ground is found at Whitaker Flat and Wild Bill Flat, providing distinct breaks in the otherwise intricate topography of the Missouri River Breaks region.

Water sources such as Bear Springs and tributaries like Box Elder Creek and Plum Creek are critical features in this arid environment. The map details the Public Land Survey System grid across Townships 19 and 20 North, revealing a sparse infrastructure limited primarily to rural routes like 3 Mile Rd and Norman Ln. This edition documents the enduring character of the Montana plains, where the landform itself dictates the patterns of access and potential land use.
