About this map

Valentine Flat and the rugged drainage of Devils Canyon define this section of the eastern Montana badlands during the late twenty-teens. The landscape is marked by the complex intersection of county lines where Richland, Wibaux, and Dawson Counties meet, revealing a terrain deeply etched by intermittent waterways. Primary drainage systems include Dry Cr and its N-Fork Dry Cr in the central and northern sections, while the southern portion is shaped by the winding course of Cottonwood Cr. Human presence in this section of the Great Plains is largely represented by rural infrastructure like Dry Creek Rd and Lufbord Rd, which navigate the high ridges and coulees. This survey illustrates the persistent land-use patterns of the American West, where township and range lines overlay a topography dominated by erosion and natural watercourses.
