About this map

The Yellowstone River flows through the western edge of this landscape, marking the transition between Montana's Richland County and North Dakota's McKenzie County. This border region is characterized by an extensive network of drainages and coulees that feed into the river system, including Bennie Peer Cr and Cheney Cr. To the southeast, the terrain reaches into the Little Missouri National Grassland, where the land is carved by Alkali Cr and Devils Cr. Evidence of water management in this arid environment is visible at the McGlynn Reservoir, while local landmarks like Estes Spring and Estes Coulee indicate long-standing family associations with the territory. The map illustrates a grid of section roads, such as Cheney Creek Rd and Bennie Peer Rd, which support the rural ranching and agricultural economy of the high plains.
