About this map

Birch Creek Colony anchors the northern reaches of this landscape, where the managed waters of the B Canal and B Four Ditch reflect a sophisticated agricultural network. The settlement of Dupuyer, complete with the Dupuyer Post Office, serves as a focal point for a region defined by established family holdings like the Soberup Ranch, Angell Ranch, and Perkins Ranch. This network of homesteads and water management suggests a resilient ranching economy built around the drainage of Dupuyer Creek and the many forks of the Marias River.

Water distribution is a primary theme of the terrain, illustrated by landmarks such as the Kitty Milk Dam and the various coulees that cut through the plains, including Woods Coulee and Bills Coulee. Remote access is provided by unpaved routes like the Dupuyer Cutoff and N Gypsy Basin Rd, which connect these isolated operations to the regional hub. The presence of Barett Flds further underscores the integration of irrigation and cultivation in this high-plains environment.
