2011 Map of Chelsea SW

About this map

The Missouri River cuts a wide, braided path across this landscape near the border of the Wolf Point District, shaping the hydrology of the surrounding plains. To the north, the Indian Hwy traverses the terrain above Tule Creek and Chelsea Creek, while the southern reaches are defined by a network of drainage systems including Nickwall Creek and Rermley Creek. This 2011 survey reflects the managed water resources of the region, anchored by the Nickwall Dam and North Place Dam. These small-scale irrigation or livestock dams, coupled with the RBW Campground near the river, illustrate the local intersection of agricultural infrastructure and seasonal recreation in northeastern Montana. The road network, including Nickwall Rd, follows the section lines of the rural grid, connecting these water-management features across the prairie.
