About this map

Milk River Coulee and its associated drainage systems define the geography of this northern Montana landscape in Valley County. The terrain is characterized by the complex hydrology of West Fork Charley Creek and Charley Creek, which navigate the township and range divisions of the High Plains. To the northeast, the presence of Mud Lake highlights the intermittent water features typical of this region, where coulees and creeks provide the primary relief in an otherwise open expanse.

Surface infrastructure is minimal, consisting primarily of established routes such as Bauer Rd and Wagner Rd. These roads facilitate access across the grazing lands and prairie, connecting the drainage basins of Kintyre Creek to the broader regional network. The map illustrates the contemporary intersection of traditional public land survey sections with the persistent natural watercourses that have historically dictated movement and land use in this part of the state.
