About this map

Culbertson serves as the primary hub on this Missouri River terrace, positioned where the river valley meets the upland plains of Northeast Montana. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the irrigated bottomlands of the Missouri River and the undulating breaks carved by Big Muddy Creek and Scott Creek. The area holds significant local history markers, including the Bauer Cem and Hillside Cem, alongside community landmarks like the Rodeo Ground and Athletic Field.

A portion of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation extends into the western edge of the map near the settlement of Blair. The presence of several Oil Well sites and Tanks across the northern sections, particularly near Damm Road, indicates the energy production that has long complemented the region's agricultural and ranching economy. Aviation and communication infrastructure is also visible through the Airway Beacon, Big Sky Field, and a prominent Radio Facility.
