About this map

Wolf Creek Falls marks a significant hydrologic feature in this Fergus County landscape, where the waters of Wolf Cr navigate the complex topography of the Montana plains. The map reveals a land defined by high, flat plateaus such as Everson Bench and Bear Springs Bench, which rise above a network of deep drainage channels. These erosional features, locally known as coulees, include Mutton Coulee, King Coulee, and Buffalo Coulee, illustrating the intricate natural irrigation and runoff patterns that feed into the Judith River.

Transportation in this area is sparse, primarily represented by Bear Springs Rd winding through the southeastern quadrant. The survey provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid, showing the township and range lines for T21N and T20N. For those studying the geography of central Montana, the relationship between the elevated benches and the creek-fed coulees offers insight into the region's agricultural and grazing potential.
