About this map

The Milk River meanders across this northern Montana landscape, its serpentine path defining the drainage patterns for numerous coulees including Horse Camp Coulee, Spring Coulee, and Delaney Coulee. Mapped in the late 1960s as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, the topography reveals a reliance on water management and seasonal watercourses. Near the southern edge, the Dodson South Canal runs parallel to the river, indicating the complex irrigation infrastructure supporting local agriculture. Rural life is anchored by landmarks like the Circle Diamond Sch and Strater Hall in the southeast corner. The presence of Assiniboine Creek and a localized Gravel Pit further characterize the area's geography, where the dry creek beds and coulees carve through the terrain toward the river valley.
