About this map

The Milk River carves a winding path through the northern plains of Montana, defining a landscape of erosion and industry in this 1970s survey. The map centers on the historical significance of the Agricultural Experiment Station (Fort Assinniboine Site), highlighting the region's long-standing transition from military frontier to agricultural research. The surrounding terrain is marked by the complex drainage of numerous coulees, such as Davenport Coulee and Rattlesnake Coulee, which cut through the northern Badlands.

Transportation and resource extraction are central themes, with the Burlington Northern railroad running parallel to the river and connecting settlements like Burnham and Pacific Junction. The discovery and development of energy resources are evident in the sprawling Tiger Ridge Gas Field to the south, while local recreation and infrastructure appear at the Bearpaw Country Club and the Havre City-County Airport.
