2017 Map of Sage Creek Point

About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates the upper half of this landscape, its intricate shoreline carving into the high plains of northeastern Montana. The boundary between Valley County and Garfield County bisects the water and terrain, marking a division through a region defined by dramatic breaks and coulees. Deeply incised drainage patterns characterize the southern portion of the map, where Embleton Coulee, North Embleton Coulee, and South Embleton Coulee channel runoff toward the Missouri River basin. High points like Sage Creek Point and Grave Point provide topographic relief above the lake's fingers, while Chilkoot Pass suggests a historic route through the broken ground. The only significant road infrastructure shown is Pines Rd, which follows the spine of Fifth Ridge, reflecting the sparse and specialized land use in this part of the state.
