About this map

The Milk River carves a winding path through this corner of the Montana plains, defining the physical and historical character of the landscape southeast of Havre. This 2020 survey reveals a topography heavily influenced by seasonal water drainage, where numerous coulees—including Sheep Camp Coulee, Carnal Coulee, and Spring Coulee—etch deep paths toward the river basin. These features are essential landmarks for understanding the area's grazing and land-use patterns.

Along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the Hill Co Blaine Co line marks the administrative boundary through open range. The map illustrates a network of rural routes such as Shepherd Rd and Clear Creek Rd Se that facilitate travel between the high ground and the drainage of Little Boxelder Cr. This modern data from the U.S. Geological Survey captures the enduring nature of the Northern Montana ranching country, showing how modern county roads still follow the natural contours of the coulees and creek beds.
