About this map

The Canada United States border defines the northern edge of this landscape in Daniels Co, where the prairie meets the international boundary line. The drainage of the Middle Fork Poplar River dominates the eastern half of the map, fed by several watercourses including Goose Creek, Coal Creek, and Lost Child Creek. The terrain is characterized by dissected plateau landforms and isolated high points like the prominent Butte near the southern margin.

Evidence of the local agricultural economy is scattered across the township lines, marked primarily by numerous Storage Bins and a lone Storage Bin near the western edge. Industrial activity is minimal but present at a Gravel Pit located central to the sheet. Water management and monitoring are noted at a Gaging Sta along Goose Creek, while a single Well and various springs reflect the reliance on groundwater in this high-plains environment.
