About this map

The boundary between Chouteau Co and Cascade Co divides this expansive prairie landscape in north-central Montana. The terrain is characterized by the deep, winding incisions of Huntley Coulee and Portage Coulee, which provide the primary drainage for the area. Isolated landmarks such as Whitehorn and Kuich punctuate the high ground, while the eponymous Flick Lake serves as a prominent water feature in the northwest.

Evidence of local resource use and infrastructure is found in several scattered Gravel Pit locations and a major Pipeline that traverses the northern sections. Transport is defined by the straight, section-line path of Dent Bridge Road, reflecting the systematic grid of western land division. The presence of Twentyeight Mile Spring suggests a reliable historic water source in an otherwise arid landscape of coulees and high flats.
