2011 Map of Bredette

About this map

Bredette serves as the focal point of this rural landscape in Northeastern Montana, where the Bredette Post Office provides a central landmark for the surrounding community. The terrain is defined by its watercourses, most notably the winding path of the Poplar River and its tributary, the West Fork Poplar River. These rivers create a naturally carved topography that contrasts with the rigid, square-mile grid of the section lines and local roads like Poplar River Rd and School Rd. The map reveals a specialized agricultural environment where water management is critical, evidenced by the presence of the Stentoft Dam. The drainage of Glue Out Morgan Creek further illustrates the complex hydrology of the Poplar District. The placement of 3 Corners Rd and Taylor Rd highlights the enduring township-and-range survey system that has governed this region's development since early settlement.
