2020 Map of Blink Springs

About this map

Blink Springs sits as a central water feature in this portion of northeastern Montana, where the drainages of the E Fork Little Porcupine Cr carve through the high plains. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, which dictates the placement of the region's rural road network along section lines. This area, spanning the boundary of Valley and Daniels Counties, is crisscrossed by gravel routes such as Richland-Frazer Rd and Lanslan Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and ranching operations. The road names, including Sillerud Rd and Walby Rd, reflect the genealogy of the families who settled this northern prairie. The map provides a clear look at the topography of the Little Porcupine Creek watershed before it moves toward the Missouri River breaks to the south.
