2014 Map of Peterson Point

About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates this northern Montana landscape, its intricate shoreline carving deep into the surrounding high plains of Valley County and Garfield County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees that drain toward the reservoir, including the descriptive Cold Turkey Coulee and Rattlesnake Coulee. These geographical features trace the rugged erosion patterns of the Missouri River breaks, highlighting the transition from upland ridges like Harper Ridge to the water's edge. The 2014 survey documents the complex interface between water and land at Peterson Point, where local landmarks like Bighorn Coulee and Coyote Coulee offer specific points of reference for those navigating this expansive lakefront environment.
