About this map

The Middle Fork Milk River meanders across this northern Montana landscape, revealing a complex network of drainage patterns in Glacier County. The terrain is defined by its numerous coulees—deep ravines or dry streambeds—including Burd Coulee, Murphy Coulee, and Peterson Coulee, which carve through the high plains toward the river system. These features illustrate the erosion-carved topography common in this region near the Canadian border.

Hoodoo Hill and the adjacent Hoodoo Coulee stand as prominent landmarks in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Aside from the natural watercourses like Rock Coulee and Sand Coulee, human infrastructure is sparse, represented primarily by a single Pipeline crossing the northeastern corner. This survey provides a clear view of the land's natural drainage before significant modern development, emphasizing the named geographical features used by local ranchers and land managers.
