About this map

Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument defines the southern portion of this landscape in Blaine County, where the terrain breaks away into complex drainage networks. This modern survey illustrates a high-plains environment dominated by episodic watercourses and topographic benches. Cromley Bench stands out as a prominent landform, flanked by numerous seasonal coulees including Tin Cup Coulee, Spring Coulee, and West Fork Jacks Coulee.

Resource management and water storage are evident through features like the Suction Cr Reservoir, which captures runoff from Suction Creek. The area is sparsely developed, with Birdtail Rd providing the primary overland access through the northern sections. Other significant drainages such as Rattlesnake Creek and Coal Mine Coulee further illustrate the deeply eroded nature of this Missouri River watershed territory.
