About this map

Fort Peck Lake defines the northern reaches of this Garfield County landscape, where the waters of the U L Bend meet a complex network of dry drainage systems. The terrain is characterized by these intricate coulees, including Sandburn Coulee and Grass Coulee, which carve through the high plains toward the Missouri River reservoir. The boundary between Phillips Co and Garfield Co runs directly through the lake, marking a jurisdictional divide in this sparsely settled region.

Evidence of the area's natural history is found in labels such as Nancy Russell C and the prominent Baker Point. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range system, specifically within t20n r31e and t19n r30e, illustrating the geometric land divisions that underlie the rugged geography of the Germaine Coulee area. This document serves as a modern record of the shoreline and drainage patterns in a significant portion of Montana's central plains.
