About this map

The International Boundary forms the northern limit of this landscape, where the high plains of Phillips County meet the Canadian border. The area is defined by the winding course of the Milk River and the significant water storage at the Nelson Reservoir, featuring its documented Head Works. This survey, compiled under Col. Chas. L. Potter, captures a network of rural education and communication prior to the consolidation of modern districts. Numerous small schoolhouses, such as Hermanson School, Broderson School, and Austin School, are spaced across the township grid, often near drainages like Whitewater Creek and Little Cottonwood Creek. Local post offices at Freewater P.O. and Lovejoy P.O. serve as the primary hubs for scattered homesteads, while landmarks like Martin Lake and Rock Monument 29 provide essential navigation points in this open prairie terrain.
