1984 Map of Richmond Reservoir NE

About this map

Saskatchewan Montana borderlands define this 1984 provisional survey, capturing a remote stretch of the international boundary between Canada and the United States. The landscape is dominated by the complex drainage systems of Battle Creek and its tributary, the East Fork Battle Creek, which carve through the high plains of north-central Blaine County. Notable topographic depressions and seasonal watercourses such as Sand Coulee in the northwest and Corral Coulee in the south reveal the natural erosion patterns characteristic of this arid region. This document serves as an essential record of the physical geography and hydrography along the 49th parallel during the late twentieth century, showing a terrain largely defined by its water-carved coulees and the straight-line political boundary that bisects them.
