About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, its expansive waters reaching into the intricate drainages of the Missouri River breaks. The topography is defined by the sharp transition from the elevated Harper Ridge down to the flooded coulees and bays of the reservoir, including Snow Creek Bay at the southeastern edge. This modern digital survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the remote character of the boundary between Valley and Garfield counties, where the high prairie meets the water.

Evidence of local activity centers around Harper Camp and the access provided by Harper Ridge Rd. The map detail follows the meandering path of Carpenter Cr as it flows toward the lake through complex elevation contours. This area remains a significant point of reference for those tracking the modern shoreline of the lake and the enduring network of coulees, such as Cabin Coulee, that shape this northern Montana terrain.
