2024 Map of Poverty Flat East

About this map

Dawson Community Airport sits as a central navigational landmark in this region of eastern Montana, where the terrain transitions between elevated plateaus and carved drainage systems. High points like Glendive Butte and the expansive Threemile Table provide significant relief against the intricate network of coulees and creeks that define the landscape. The drainage patterns are dominated by Deer Creek, which winds southeast across the quadrangle, joined by smaller tributaries such as Crisafulli Creek and Cherry Coulee. This 2024 survey reflects a rural landscape shaped by long-standing township and range boundaries, where modern roads like Airport Rd and Dry Creek Rd follow the historical lines of settlement and topography.
