About this map

Milk Creek and Dodson Creek dominate this northern Montana landscape, carving drainage patterns through the high plains of Blaine County. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural framework of the region, where the Public Land Survey System grid remains the primary organizing principle across the vast townships of T32N and T33N. Transportation in this part of the Milk River basin is defined by long, gravel-surfaced routes like Black Coulee Rd and Baker Rd, which follow the section lines or trace the high ground between coulees. The presence of Homestead Trl serves as a modern geographic nod to the land-claim history of this area. While contemporary in its mapping standards, the sheet preserves the locations of vital water sources and the sparse network of secondary roads such as E Savoy Rd that connect isolated ranching and agricultural operations.
