About this map

The Fort Belknap Indian Reservation Boundary defines the eastern edge of this landscape in Blaine County, documenting a region of managed water and prairie rangeland. In the early 1970s, the terrain is shaped by the drainage systems of Peoples Creek and Maggie Creek, with numerous small reservoirs such as Newhouse Reservoir and White Bear Reservoir providing critical water storage for local agriculture and livestock.

Remote infrastructure is sparse, characterized by the Barney Olson Road and a solitary Landing Strip in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Significant water features like White Bear Spring and Anderson Reservoir are interspersed with simple landmarks such as a Corral, reflecting a late-twentieth-century economy centered on ranching. The topographical detail reveals the complex branching of North Branch White Bear Creek and South Branch White Bear Creek, alongside the winding path of Saint Johns Coulee.
