About this map

The Fort Peck Indian Reservation encompasses this section of northeastern Montana, where the high plains are dissected by a network of seasonal and permanent watercourses. The most prominent hydrological feature is the West Fork Poplar River, which flows across the landscape near the border of Daniels and Roosevelt Counties. Smaller tributaries like Police Creek and Cottonwood Creek cut through the terrain, creating the distinct Coulee formations characteristic of the region.

Industrial activity in this sparsely populated area is marked by a Drill Hole and a Gravel Pit, indicating subsurface exploration and local material extraction during the early 1970s. The landscape is dotted with several Spring and Springs locations, which served as vital water sources for ranching operations. The mapping reflects a rugged, functional landscape defined more by its natural topography and resource potential than by established townships.
