About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates the western portion of this landscape at the boundary of Garfield Co and Valley Co. The map captures a rugged breaks environment where the high plains drop sharply toward the reservoir, characterized by complex drainage systems and prominent landforms. Features such as Sage Creek Point, Grave Point, and Bell Point define the intricate shoreline, while inland elevations are marked by the presence of Fourth Ridge and Fifth Ridge.

The eastern half of the quadrangle is defined by a dense network of coulees, including Embleton Coulee, North Embleton Coulee, and South Embleton Coulee, which flow toward the lake. A high pass, Chilkoot Pass, suggests historical transit through the broken terrain. Human infrastructure is nearly absent in this era, limited to a single marked thoroughfare, Pines Rd, underscoring the isolated nature of this Missouri River country south of the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge.
