About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates the western half of this landscape, its intricate shoreline creating deeply recessed inlets like Milk Coulee Bay, Bear Creek Bay, and Bobcat Bay. The terrain transitions from these quiet waters into a complex network of coulees and high ground along the Garfield County and McCone County border. This area is defined by its drainage patterns, where seasonal flows like Bobcat Cr and Spring Cr have carved the land into distinct features such as Humphrey Coulee and Plum Patch Coulee.

Landmarks like Indian Hill and Lucky Hill rise above the drainage basins, serving as primary navigational points in an area with sparse infrastructure. Human presence is marked by a few rural routes, including Nickels Rd and Bobcat Creek RD, which provide access through the Jorgensen and Struple Coulee systems. The map illustrates the characteristic Missouri River breaks topography, where the vast reservoir meets the dissected plains of eastern Montana.
