About this map

The Poplar River meanders heavily through this portion of Roosevelt County, carving a deep, winding channel across the plains. This landscape is defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure, evidenced by a series of localized water control points such as Barney Rubbel Dam, Wilma Dam, and Crandall Reservoir Dam. These structures suggest a reliance on managed water resources for ranching or irrigation in an area where the drainages of Badger Creek, Flea Creek, and Culbertson Creek converge toward the river valley.

Surface transportation is primarily restricted to a grid of rural routes, including River RD and Poplar River RD, which follow the natural contours of the river system. In the south, Airport Addition RD and Red Thunder RD indicate proximity to more developed areas outside the immediate quadrangle. The map also records specific engineered landmarks like Structure Number 137 Dam, providing a detailed look at the rural hydrology of Montana's eastern plains during the early 21st century.
