About this map

The Milk River meanders across this northern Montana landscape, where irrigation infrastructure like the Harlem Canal and Snake Creek Ditch supports local agricultural efforts. In the central part of the quadrangle, Fort Belknap Siding serves as a primary reference point along the rail line, while the Milk River Bridge provides a critical crossing for travelers on County Rd.

The terrain is defined by several drainage features, including Zualtieri Coulee, Murphy Coulee, and Dry Coulee, which cut through the open country. To the south, the settlement of New Hope is positioned near the banks of Snake Creek, where water management is further evidenced by Chuck Dam and Miller Dam. This area represents a typical prairie river valley characterized by a grid of rural roads such as 8 Mile Rd and Reservation Rd.
