About this map

The Milk River meanders across this northern Montana landscape, defining the character of the river valley near the border of Blaine and Phillips Counties. This survey illustrates the intricate riparian environment where the river meets Peoples Cr, an area shaped by the waters of the Dodson Dam. The small settlement of Dodson sits at the southeastern edge of the map, serving as a focal point for the local agricultural and transportation network.

North of the river, the terrain rises into more complex topography, drained by Dodson Cr as it flows toward the main valley. Genealogists and local historians will find significant interest in the southern portion of the map, which identifies Graveyard Hill Cem tucked away near Peoples Creek. The road network, including the Lodgepole Hwy and Savoy Rd, provides a clear view of how rural access was maintained across these wide stretches of prairie and river bottom.
