About this map

Arrow Creek winds through a deeply incised canyon system along the border of Chouteau Co and Fergus Co during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the high, flat expanses of the Everson Bench and Arrow Creek Bench, where dryland farming and ranching are established. The small community of Everson serves as a local hub, anchored by the Everson Community Hall and the nearby Everson Cem.

Further south, the Lincoln Sch stands near the head of Falls Coulee, representing the rural education infrastructure of central Montana. Numerous family-named drainages like Clydes Creek, Birkland Coulee, and Melton Coulee suggest the legacy of early homesteaders who settled this breaks country. The map detail highlights the intricate network of coulees, including Spring Coulee and Mutton Coulee, which drain the tablelands toward the Missouri River Basin.
