About this map

Hell Creek Bay and the surrounding drainage basins of the Missouri River break country define this portion of Garfield County. The landscape is heavily dissected by numerous seasonal watercourses, including North Getaway Coulee, Two Deer Coulee, and Jordan Coulee, which carve through the high plateaus. Strategic water sources for local ranching and wildlife are noted at Manage Spring, Dripping Spring, and the man-made Jade Reservoir.

Prominent topographic landmarks such as Maloney Hill and the Hogs Back ridge provide essential orientation for those navigating the backcountry. The map also delineates the high ground at Sch Section Divide and White Horse Divide, which separate the various creek systems. Transportation in this remote area is limited to established routes like Hell Creek Rd and Trumbo Rd, illustrating the isolated character of the Montana plains in the early 21st century.
