2017 Map of Poverty Flat East

About this map

Glendive Butte and the broad elevated terrain of Threemile Table define the landscape of Dawson County in this section of eastern Montana. The map illustrates a high-plains environment deeply etched by drainage systems, including Cherry Coulee, Plum Coulee, and D Bar Coulee. These watercourses flow toward larger arteries like Deer Cr and Crisafulli Cr, which wind through the township grids. A critical piece of regional infrastructure, the Dawson Community Airport, is situated in the southern portion of the sheet, served by Airport Rd. The transport network is characterized by remote thoroughfares such as Fas 254 and RD 550, which facilitate movement across the cattle country and dryland agricultural plots that dominate the local economy.
