About this map

Poplar River winds through the heart of this Roosevelt County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns and road networks that serve this portion of the Poplar District. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features, including the junctions of Lone Tree Cr and Short Cr as they feed into the primary river valley. A notable center of activity in this otherwise rural expanse is Swank Airport, situated near the head of Swank Coulee. The map illustrates a developed grid of rural routes such as Poplar River Rd and various numbered roads like Rd 2041, which facilitate movement between the survey townships. This modern topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the land use and accessibility in northeastern Montana, reflecting the continued importance of the river systems to the regional geography.
