About this map

The Missouri River snakes across this landscape, serving as a critical artery where the Milk River joins from the northwest. In the early 1970s, this region was defined by its water management and transportation infrastructure, anchored by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The Fort Peck Indian Reservation Boundary follows the river's path, separating the northern plains from the coulees and creek beds to the south.

Settlement patterns are sparse, focused around the railroad sidings of Wiota and Kintyre. The presence of the Frazer Pumping Sta and a network of irrigation features like the Pump Canal indicate the transition of the high plains into productive agricultural land. South of the river, the terrain becomes more varied with a series of drainage features like West Fork Lost Creek and Charley Creek, while the Landing Strip and various Jeep Trails suggest the remote nature of the Valley and McCone County line.
