2020 Map of Chase Hill

About this map

The boundary between Chouteau Co and Blaine Co divides this high-plains landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of distinct geographic plateaus. Prominent features include Greens Bench, Cummings Bench, and Golf Bench, which rise above the surrounding drainage networks. The hydrological system is anchored by the winding course of Birch Creek, which snakes through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, while Sand Creek touches the northern edge. Human infrastructure is limited to a sparse network of rural roads such as Brewer Rd and Eskay Rd, reflecting the open, ranch-oriented land use characteristic of north-central Montana. This survey provides a clear view of the topographical relationship between these elevated benches and the creek beds that have carved the land over time.
