About this map

The Fort Belknap Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the winding course of Peoples Creek and its complex network of tributaries. In the early 1970s, this area of Blaine County shows a transition from the elevated peaks of the Three Buttes in the west toward the riparian corridors of the South Fork Peoples Creek and Brown Creek. These waterways provide vital drainage across the plains, marked by numerous small unnamed Spring labels that indicate the presence of seasonal water sources essential for livestock and local habitation.
