About this map

The East Fork Poplar River meanders southward through this rural Montana landscape, crossing the international boundary near the Scobey Border Station / East Poplar International Airport. This high-plains terrain is defined by a grid of section lines and gravel roads that bear the names of early local families, such as Ukrainian Rd, Hudyma Rd, and Marlenee Rd. These roads connect isolated homesteads and farmland across the prairie, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of Daniels County.

Evidence of local history and industry is visible in features like Saint Michaels Cem and the presence of Coal Mine Rd, hinting at the region's early rural development. Smaller tributaries like Outlet Cr join the river system, which serves as the primary geographical anchor for the surrounding townships. The map provides a clear picture of the vast, open-country settlement patterns that persist along the Canadian border.
