About this map

The Missouri River serves as the prominent natural boundary along the northern edge of this landscape, marking the divide between Roosevelt Co and Richland Co. The terrain south of the river is defined by a dense network of drainages and coulees that have carved the plateau, most notably Hardscrabble Cr and its eastern fork, E Hardscrabble Cr. These waterways, along with Dugout Cr, create a highly dissected topography that transitions into deeper landforms like Garden Coulee and Goodman Coulee in the southern sections.

Transportation in this rural stretch of northeastern Montana relies on a system of county routes, including Co Rd 152 which follows the river's path and Co Rd 332 providing north-south access through the interior. The map clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System grid, illustrating the section lines that historically governed settlement and land use across the t27n r55e and t26n r56e townships.
