About this map

White Bear Reservoir and the nearby White Bear Spring anchor this portion of the Agency District, where water management is central to the high plains landscape. This modern survey illustrates the intricate drainage network of northern Montana, including the N Br White Bear Cr and S Br White Bear Cr which feed toward the Milk River valley. The terrain is marked by landform features such as Black Hills Coulee and numerous small prairie potholes that populate the landscape between Peoples Cr and Maggie Cr.

Local history is preserved in small footprints like the Smith O'Bryan Cem in the northeastern quadrant. Modern infrastructure, including Barney Olson Rd and Left Fork Snake Butte Rd, provides access through this ranching country. The map's detail of Newhouse Reservoir and Anderson Reservoir highlights the importance of these constructed basins for local agricultural and livestock survival in a region defined by seasonal creeks like Fifteenmile Cr.
