2011 Map of Herman Point

About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates this stretch of the Missouri River country in Garfield County, defining a complex shoreline of inlets and points. The landscape is characterized by the transition from the high prairie of Reynolds Hill down to the water’s edge, where the Fourchette Creek Campground provides a central landmark for those navigating this portion of the reservoir. To the north, the drainage of Box Elder Creek is managed by infrastructure like the Cottonwood Grazing Number 2 Dam, illustrating the area's long-standing connection to livestock management and water conservation. The map details localized terrain features such as the prominence of Herman Point and the low-lying Skibby Bottom near Brandon Coulee, documenting the intricate relationship between the rising lake waters and the original coulees and creek beds of the high plains.
