About this map

The Milk River meanders through the northern reaches of this Valley County landscape, defining a riparian corridor that contrasts sharply with the elevated terrain to the south. This area is characterized by the transition from the river valley to the prominent Larb Hills, where the geography becomes increasingly complex with drainage features like McNab Coulee and Limekiln Coulee. The historical significance of the region is underscored by the Lewis and Clark Trl, which traverses the central section of the map, providing a tangible link to early western exploration.

Evidence of local ranching and rural infrastructure is seen in the network of secondary roads such as Reynolds Rd, Larb Cr Rd, and Milk River Rd. The small settlement at Beaverton E and landmarks like the Bjornberg Brg across a north-south divide indicate the sparse but established human footprint within this section of the Great Plains. Water remains a central theme of the topography, with Beaver Creek cutting across the central plains before the land rises into the southern hills.
