Getting to the right map
Go first to the Montana Cadastral; it maps every assessed parcel from Lewis and Clark National Forest to Judith Gap. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, whether the land is near Judith Gap or elsewhere in the county. If the land is near Martinsdale Colony, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Reading the legal description

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Judith Gap odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Springwater Colony for any title or survey request.
Offices that can help
