About this map

Our Saviors Ch stands near the northern edge of this Montana landscape, where the high plains of the Valley and Daniels county line meet. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the East Fork Little Porcupine Creek, which carves through the undulating prairie. Human activity is sparse but telling, centered on agricultural infrastructure and water sources essential for ranching and survival in this arid region.

Evidence of local industry and homesteading appears in the form of several Storage Bins and a Well located in the eastern sections. Centrally, the namesake Blink Springs provides a natural landmark within the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. Traces of resource extraction are also visible near the valley floor at a Gravel Pit, reflecting the practical needs of maintaining rural road networks during the early 1970s.
