About this map

Box Elder Cr meanders across this eastern Montana landscape, carving a drainage pattern through the breaks and uplands of Dawson County. The terrain is defined by its water management features, specifically Milliron Reservoir Number 1 and Milliron Reservoir Number 2, which capture seasonal runoff in an otherwise arid rangeland. These reservoirs and the surrounding drainage network indicate the area's primary utility for livestock grazing and land management. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of section roads, including Road 322 and Road 328, which provide access through the sprawling townships of t17n r57e, t17n r58e, t16n r57e, and t16n r58e. The map reflects the vast, open character of the high plains, where human imprint is secondary to the natural contours and essential water sources.
