About this map

Todd Lakes and the surrounding drainage basins of Valley County define this stretch of Montana's high plains. The landscape is carved by seasonal waterways and coulees, notably the W Fork Wolf Cr and Dry Fork Wolf Cr, which cut through the undulating terrain. Named landmarks such as Jack Norris Coulee and Thiessen Coulee provide specific points of reference for local family history and land use in this largely agricultural region.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the isolated Zerbe Airport, situated in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of rural routes, including Grand Prairie Rd and Oswego N Rd, which follow the township and range lines established by the Public Land Survey System. The map captures a contemporary look at the intersections of natural erosion and human settlement on the northern plains.
