About this map

Winifred serves as the primary hub in this Fergus County landscape, situated where Rte-236 meets the local road network. The settlement is anchored by essential services like the Winifred Post Office and the Winifred Rural Fire Dept, while the Winifred Airport provides regional connectivity. The surrounding high plains are defined by a complex hydrography of coulees and creeks, including Dog Creek and Flax Coulee.

Agricultural infrastructure is a dominant feature, characterized by numerous small-scale water management projects such as Old McDonalds Pig Dam, Reeves Dam, and North Winifred Dam. These features, along with larger bodies of water like the Stafford Reservoir, reflect the necessity of water storage in this semi-arid environment. The rectangular grid of rural routes, from Judith River Rd to P N Bridge Rd, facilitates movement between isolated points like Yaaps Corner, illustrating the persistent agrarian character of Central Montana.
