About this map

Ming Coulee and Number Five Coulee carve through this Montana landscape, revealing a ranching and rural residential pattern typical of Cascade County in the early 1970s. The small settlement of Calvert serves as the focal point of the area, supported by the local Calvert Sch and a scattered network of springs that sustain the surrounding hills. To the south, the terrain rises significantly toward the prominent landmark of Black Butte, which anchors the southern boundary of the quadrangle.

Transportation in the region is defined by winding drainage routes such as Boston Coulee and Splain Coulee, which dictate the placement of unimproved roads and light-duty tracks. The prominence of features like Creamery Hill and the Sand Creek drainage illustrates the intersection of geological landforms and early agricultural place-naming. A solitary Water Tank stands near the center of the sheet, likely a vital resource for livestock in this high-plains environment.
