About this map

The Milk River meanders across the southern edge of this Valley County landscape, defining the local hydrology alongside its tributary, O'Neil Creek. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of coulees that drain the high plains, including Chapman Coulee, Mooney Coulee, and Richardson Coulee. These geographical features trace the natural erosion patterns typical of the Montana plains, creating a complex series of ridges and draws between Spring Creek and Cherry Creek.

A sparse network of local roads and tracks provides access to the interior sections of the Public Land Survey System, which is clearly delineated into townships T30N R38E and T29N R39E. Notable corridors like Jensen Trl, Nelson Rd, and Riggin Rd navigate the uneven ground, while Riverside Dr follows the northern bank of the river. This layout reflects the area's agricultural and ranching foundations, where transportation routes are dictated by the deep incisions of the coulees and the path of the river valley.
