About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates the northeastern corner of this Garfield County landscape, where the Missouri River's impoundment meets a complex network of dry coulees and named ridges. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with Hell Cr and Hart Cr cutting through a series of high divides and summits. Notable landmarks like Maloney Hill and the Hogs Back provide orientation in this largely uninhabited area of Big Sky Country.

Evidence of water management and local topography is seen in features such as Jade Reservoir, Manage Spring, and the aptly named Dripping Spring. These names, alongside geological identifiers like the Sch Section Divide and White Horse Divide, offer insight into how this corner of Montana was partitioned and navigated. Only a single significant roadway, Cottonwood Creek Rd, appears in the southwestern corner, highlighting the area's isolation.
