Planning a hunt near Brockton? A useful Roosevelt County hunting map combines two sources: public areas from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and private lines from the county. This Roosevelt County guide covers: state sources for public ground, how to read private parcel lines, and getting landowner permission the right way.
Building your Roosevelt County hunting map
For property near Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge, start with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks for public areas, along with seasons and regulations.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Montana Cadastral; it covers every assessed parcel around Brockton and Poplar. Out toward Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For a tract near Poplar, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Roosevelt County in a few facts
Wolf Point holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Poplar, Bainville, Culbertson, and Froid, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 10,319 people live in the county (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across about 2,355 square miles, especially near Poplar. Roosevelt County was organized in 1919, so old deeds can run back a long way. Landmarks such as Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge help you orient on the aerial.
Reading terrain
On the aerial around Brockton, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; match each spot to its parcel.
What the map can't tell you
Acreage on the record is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on land around Culbertson. On ground around Wolf Point, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Private land and parcel lines
For private ground, the Montana Cadastral is the free source, and each tract near Bainville lists an owner.
Being a good guest
Leave gates as you found them on land near Bainville, and tell someone where you'll be; it keeps permission coming back.
Legal descriptions in Montana
Montana is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Poplar is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Culbertson before you request a deed or survey.
Getting a yes
For a home near Poplar, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Next door to the county for land near Poplar.
Roosevelt County touches Daniels County, McCone County, Richland County, Sheridan County, and Valley County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Poplar may show up in two county records, so look at the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. For a home near Wolf Point, the Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map for Montana.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Culbertson, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Brockton helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Regulations to check
Check Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks for seasons and licensing, and trespass rules differ by state wherever you hunt near Froid.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
When the details count, get the recorded deed from the County Clerk and Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, which applies near Brockton as much as anywhere. Inherited tracts near Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge may trace back through many deeds, so a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Bainville belong with the Montana Department of Revenue, since that office keeps the assessment data. Building or septic questions for a lot near Poplar need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
