About this map

Box Elder serves as the primary population center on this High Plains landscape, situated along the border of Hill Co and Chouteau Co. The town’s layout is defined by a grid including Main ST W, 1st Ave NW, and Broadway, with the Box Elder Cem located just to the north. Outside the residential area, the terrain is shaped by a complex system of drainage and water management, notably through the flow of Big Sandy Creek and Boxelder Creek.

Irrigation and water storage are central to the region’s geography, as seen in the presence of Schmidt Reservoir and Grass Reservoir. The landscape is further characterized by deep incisions like Jerome Coulee, Barneys Coulee, and Lonesome Lake Coulee, which traverse the prairie toward Sage Creek. To the east, the edge of Rocky Boy West reflects the contemporary settlement patterns of the area, while a network of rural roads such as Kremlin High Grade RD and Cleveland RD facilitates movement across the vast agricultural and open lands.
