About this map

The Canada United States border defines the northern edge of this northern Montana landscape, where the Saskatchewan Montana line marks the transition into the Canadian plains. The terrain is dominated by the winding path of the East Fork Poplar River, which carves a distinct valley through the prairie. Agricultural activity is evident through the presence of numerous Storage Bins and isolated wells scattered across the high ground. Community life in this rural corner of Daniels County is anchored by the St Michaels Ch and the adjacent St Michaels Cem, which serve as primary landmarks for local history and genealogy. Several small waterways, including Outlet Creek and a natural Spring, provide the essential drainage and water sources for the surrounding ranching and farming operations during the early 1970s.
