About this map

Dalke Grave provides a poignant genealogical anchor in this remote stretch of the Montana-Saskatchewan borderlands. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the E Fork Battle Cr and a series of distinct drainage patterns including Sand Coulee and North Fork Corral Coulee. These deep incisions in the high plains terrain reveal the hydrological history of the Milk River watershed. Settlement is sparse, with the map showing an infrastructure of section-line roads such as Sage Rd and Frenchy Rd that crisscross the transition between Hill County and Blaine County. The proximity to the international boundary and the presence of names like Bennett Coulee suggest a history of cattle ranching and homesteading in a region where water sources and topographic shelter were vital for survival.
