About this map

The Fort Peck Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across the southern portion of this landscape, marking a clear line of land administration in Daniels County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Poplar River, which is fed by numerous drainages including Negro Coulee, Manternach Coulee, and the eponymous Cabarett Coulee. These features illustrate the complex erosional patterns typical of the Montana plains, where seasonal water flow has carved deep paths through the high ground.

Evidence of rural community life and early-1970s agricultural infrastructure is visible in landmarks like Silver Star Hall and Fairview Cem. The map also documents the functional needs of the era, from a Roadside Park along the highway to scattered Storage Bins and a Gravel Pit. These labels offer a detailed look at the intersection of natural topography and the human footprint on the northern plains.
