2014 Map of Harper Camp

About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the waters of the Missouri River meet the intricate breaks of Valley and Garfield counties. The topography is defined by the prominent Harper Ridge, which serves as a central spine between the lake and the northern drainages of Carpenter Cr. This 2014 survey captures the area as a remote stretch of Montana high country, where human presence is sparse and concentrated at locales like Harper Camp and Cabin Coulee. A single primary artery, Harper Ridge Rd, provides access along the high ground, tracing the divide above the deeply eroded coulees that feed into the reservoir. The map illustrates the complex intersection of township boundaries and the meandering shoreline, highlighting the stark transition from the upland ridges to the submerged river valley.
