About this map

The northern foothills of the Bears Paw Mountains define this section of Blaine County, where the small community of Cleveland sits at the junction of several rural routes. The landscape transitions from the high peaks of Crown Butte and Timber Butte in the southwest to the drainage basins of Peoples Cr and its many tributaries. A significant portion of the northern map area is dedicated to the Nez Perce National Historical Park, preserving the corridor of the 1877 flight of the Nez Perce.

Water management and ranching operations are evident through features like the Faber Reservoir and the network of named cattle lanes such as Gordon Cattle Ln. Local geography is marked by distinct geological formations like the Sand Rocks and Nicholson Bluff, while the drainage of Snake Cr and Box Elder Cr cuts through the high plains toward the north. The map details a network of named local roads including Mitchell Rd and Peoples Creek Rd, which provide access to the dispersed homesteads and grazing lands typical of this Montana ranching region.
