2011 Map of West Fork NE

About this map

The West Fork Poplar River carves a winding path through this corner of the Wolf Point District, anchoring a landscape defined by its remote drainage systems. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of Roosevelt County, where the dendritic patterns of Hell Creek and its unnamed tributaries dominate the terrain. Human presence is marked by a sparse network of section-line roads, including Fladager Rd, which provides one of the few named navigational markers in this sparsely populated stretch of northeastern Montana. The map reveals the relationship between the natural hydrology of the Poplar River basin and the gridded land management typical of the American West, offering a precise view of the topography before contemporary shifts in land use or environmental change.
