About this map

Charles M Russell National Wildlife Refuge dominates this landscape, preserving a vast corridor of riverine habitat where the Missouri River meets the northern reaches of Fort Peck Lake. The map reveals a complex network of drainage systems, including Ghost Coulee, Deadman Coulee, and Devils Creek, which carve through the high plains toward the river valley. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Brandon Butte, which overlooks the surrounding Brandon Coulee.

Though primarily a protected wilderness, the map indicates sparse infrastructure at the border of Phillips and Garfield counties. Access is limited to unpaved routes like Lost Creek Rd and Brusett Rd in the southern sections. This survey provides a modern record of the Missouri River Breaks, showing the intricate North Fork Lost Creek and its convergence with Lost Creek, illustrating the natural hydrological patterns of this Missouri River drainage basin.
