About this map

Fort Peck Lake touches the southern reaches of this landscape, marking the northern edge of one of the Missouri River's most significant impoundments. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises and drainages, including Murray Hill, Shufeldt Ridge, and Van Hook Ridge. These high points separate a complex network of seasonal watercourses like Barber Coulee and Desert Coulee.

Remote infrastructure in this part of Valley County consists primarily of unpaved access routes such as Stone House Rd and Murray Rd, which serve a territory dotted with vital water sources for ranching or wildlife. These include King Spring, Sullivan Spring, and the Valley Reservoir. The map illustrates a modern state of a land where the physical geography of coulees and ridges remains the primary influence on movement and land use.
