About this map

The Thibadeau Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern portion of this Montana landscape, where the seasonal waters of Thibadeau Lake, Grassy Lake, and Dry Lake define the terrain. Situated along the boundary between Hill Co and Blaine Co, this area is characterized by a complex drainage system of deep-cut coulees, including Redrock Coulee and McLaren Coulee, which weave through the high plains.

Remote transportation and land management are evident through the presence of the Shepherd Road and a solitary Landing Strip in the central section. The map also traces the winding paths of Coal Coulee and Badger Coulee, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the Missouri River Basin during the early 1960s. This survey records the distinct intersection of wildlife conservation and northern prairie cattle country before modern intensive development.
