1983 Map of Scobey
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The Poplar River and its various branches—the West Fork, Middle Fork, and East Fork—anchor this northern Montana landscape just south of the Canada-United States border. The regional economy during the early 1980s is defined by the Burlington Northern railroad line, which connects several high-plains settlements including Scobey, Four Buttes, and Flaxville. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Fort Peck Indian Reservation Boundary, while the north features international crossings and the Poplar Valley Municipality. This survey illustrates the transition from organized prairie agriculture to protected wetlands, such as the Jagielo Waterfowl Production Area and Flaxville Waterfowl Production Area, set against a backdrop of coulees like Negro Coulee and Olson Coulee. Local landmarks such as Wild Horse Butte and Square Butte provide topographical variety to the extensive ranching and farming tracts.
