About this map

Rocky Boy's Agency serves as a focal point for this section of north-central Montana, where the drainages of the Bear Paw Mountains dictate the layout of local infrastructure. The high-relief terrain is punctuated by significant peaks such as Shambo Mtn and Mt Reynolds, while complex coulee systems like Sawmill Coulee and Mooney Coulee channel seasonal runoff toward larger arteries like Beaver Cr.

Transport through these elevations is confined to routes like Mount Hwy 234 and Beaver Creek Rd, which navigate around prominent landmarks including Eagle Rock and Manikanis Ridge. In the southern reaches, Parker School stands near the confluence of local roads, reflecting the established community nodes within the rugged landscape. The mapping of Alkali Springs Canyon and Shambo Springs highlights the importance of water sources in this semi-arid highland environment.
