About this map

The West Fork Poplar River meanders through this portion of Daniels County, defining a landscape of high plains drainage and subtle topographic rises. The namesake Horseshoe Basin sits at the heart of the quadrangle, surrounded by landmarks like Richland Hill and Gregerson Hill. This 2024 survey reflects a modern view of the region's rural infrastructure, where long-established section-line roads like Truax Rd and Kleeman Rd provide access to the vast agricultural stretches of the Missouri River basin. The map detail highlights the intricate drainage patterns of Blackhawk Coulee, Martin Coulee, and Lewarton Coulee, illustrating how water has shaped the terrain over time. This data is essential for understanding the contemporary geography of Northeastern Montana, preserving the specific placement of rural routes such as Railroad Rd and Horseshoe Basin Rd.
