2014 Map of Wild Bill Flat West

About this map

Wild Bill Flat and the surrounding high plains of Fergus County dominate this landscape, characterized by a series of dramatic coulees and watercourses that drain toward the Judith River. The terrain transitions from the broad Upper Bench and Bear Springs Bench down through complex drainage systems like Buffalo Coulee, Cral Coulee, and Blood Coulee. Prominent landmarks such as Black Butte and the Twin Buttes rise above the undulating surface, providing clear orientation points in this expansive rangeland. The transport network is defined by a handful of established routes, including Bear Springs Rd and Sunnyside Rd, which navigate the township and range divisions. The map reveals the intricate natural plumbing of the region, where seasonal and perennial flows like Wolf Cr and Willow Cr have carved deep incisions into the Montana landscape, highlighting the erosive power of water in an otherwise arid environment.
