About this map

The Missouri River cuts across the northern edge of this landscape, forming the boundary between Richland and Roosevelt counties. Just south of the water, the Fort Peck Indian Reservation Bdy follows a bend in the river, delineating the edge of sovereign tribal land. This 1969 field-checked survey illustrates a sparsely settled region of the Missouri River Basin where human activity is centered on small points like Charlie and isolated Well sites.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Cedar Creek, Twomile Creek, and Charley Creek, which flow north toward the Missouri. Landmarks like the prominent bend at Devils Elbow offer specific reference points for researchers studying the historical topography and hydrography of this section of Eastern Montana before significant modern development altered the local ranching and agricultural patterns.
