About this map

The Milk River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring the city of Harlem in a region defined by agricultural irrigation and water management. Modern infrastructure like the Harlem Canal and the Harlem Water Supply Dam reveals the engineering required to sustain this Blaine County community. The town center is well-detailed, showing the Harlem Post Office and the Harlem Vol Fire Dept near the intersection of several local routes.

To the north, the terrain becomes more varied as it rises toward Borders Coulee and Forgey Creek. The map records distinct land uses, from the Harlem Airport and Harlem Golf Course on the outskirts of town to the more remote North Harlem Colony. Water storage is prominent throughout the quadrangle, with features such as Thirtymile Reservoir, the BR-43 Dam, and Frog Dam scattered across the coulees and creek beds.
