The settlement of Robere lies at the heart of this landscape where Glacier and Pondera counties meet. This 2017 study captures a complex system of water management essential to the high plains, defined by the Birch Creek Main Canal and a network of irrigation channels including the Thomas Williamson Ditch, Kingsbury Ditch, and Ryan Lauffler Ditch. These waterways cross the Birch Creek Flats, supporting agriculture in an area otherwise marked by deep draws like Miller Coulee and Sober Up Coulee. Local history is anchored at the Robare Cemetery, while the historical path of the Lewis and Clark Trail and Mollys Nipple Road suggest the long-standing importance of this corridor for travel and transit across the Montana plains.
