About this map

Richland sits at the intersection of Richland-Frazer Rd and Horseshoe Basin Rd, serving as the primary human settlement in this section of northeastern Montana. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the West Fork Poplar River, which is fed by numerous drainages including Swift Coulee and Brockway Coulee. The topography rises to the east at Richland Hill, overlooking a vast network of erosional features such as Martin Coulee and Dolson Coulee.

The boundary between Daniels and Valley counties bisects the area, highlighting the rural administrative divisions of the region. Local transit is facilitated by a grid of named routes like Heckner Rd and Stahl Rd, which connect remote homesteads and agricultural tracts across the drainages of Spring Coulee and Blackhawk Coulee. This survey provides a clear view of the sparse, water-dependent settlement patterns characteristic of the high plains.
