About this map

Fort Peck Lake and its intricate northern shoreline dominate this Garfield County landscape, centered around the Box Elder Creek Bay and the Dry Arm. This high-plains terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees and draws that drain toward the reservoir, illustrating the erosive power of the regional watershed. Local infrastructure is minimal, represented primarily by Haxby Rd, which navigates the ridges between complex drainage systems like Cut Coulee and Spring Draw.

Waterways such as Norville Cr, Sage Cr, and the N Fork Box Cr reveal the rugged topography of the Missouri River country. The map provides a look at the interplay between the massive impounded waters of the lake and the ancient creek beds that existed before the damming of the river. It is a vital record for understanding the modern geography of the Haxby area and its relation to the surrounding wilderness.
