2014 Map of Hay Creek NW

About this map

Poplar River meanders across this northern Montana landscape, defining the drainage patterns of Roosevelt County. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, most notably at Swank Coulee which cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This 2014 survey captures a sparsely populated region of the Poplar District where aviation and local transport rely on features like the Swank Airport, situated near the coulee that shares its name. The mapping shows a network of watercourses including Lone Tree Cr and Short Cr, which feed into the primary river valley. Connectivity across these townships is maintained by rural routes such as W Poplar Rd and Poplar River Rd, providing a clear view of the infrastructure supporting this expansive ranching and prairie environment during the early 21st century.
