About this map

The Judith River winds through the northeast corner of this central Montana landscape, carved by a network of drainage channels that define the local topography. This 1964 survey captures the distinct plateau formations of Everson Bench and Bear Springs Bench, which rise above the surrounding coulees and creeks. The namesake Wolf Creek Falls sits at the junction where multiple stream systems converge, illustrating the complex erosion patterns characteristic of the Fergus County plains.

While the map shows few permanent structures beyond a solitary Gravel Pit in the southeast, the naming of features like Clydes Creek, King Coulee, and Buffalo Coulee reflects the historical importance of water sources and landmarks for ranching and navigation. The survey, produced as part of the Department of the Interior program for the Missouri River Basin, provides a precise record of the fencelines and unimproved dirt roads that connected these isolated tracts during the mid-1960s.
