About this map

Charles M Russell National Wildlife Refuge dominates this section of the Missouri River Breaks, preserving a landscape where the Missouri River meets the expansive Fort Peck Lake. The map details a rugged drainage network defined by steep coulees, including Deadman Coulee, Ghost Coulee, and Brandon Coulee, which carve through the high plains toward the reservoir shoreline.

Recreational development is evident at the Devils Creek State Recreation Area, which includes the Devils Creek Campground near the mouth of Devils Creek. On the western edge, Brandon Butte serves as a prominent navigational landmark overlooking the water. This 1965 survey, updated in the 1980s, documents the intersection of Phillips and Garfield counties in a remote reach of the Big Sky country where natural topography remains the primary feature.
