About this map

The Milk River carves a complex, meandering path across this North-Central Montana landscape, defining the topography near the Phillips and Blaine County line. At the heart of this river system sits Dodson Dam, a key piece of water infrastructure that regulates flow through the valley. The settlement of Dodson occupies the southeastern reach of the map, served by Us-2 and Savoy Rd, illustrating the corridor's reliance on the river and its parallel transportation routes.

Further south, the landscape transitions toward the Peoples Creek drainage, where local history is anchored by Graveyard Hill Cem. This area is marked by a network of rural roads with distinctive local names like Killer Loop and Matte Ln, which trace the property boundaries and section lines of the surrounding ranchland. The map provides a detailed view of the numerous seasonal tributaries, including Milk Creek, Dodson Cr, and Deer Creek, as they converge toward the primary river valley.
