2020 Map of West Fork NE

About this map

W Fork Poplar River meanders through this section of Daniels County, Montana, defining a landscape of deeply etched drainages and high plateaus. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by features such as Hell Cr and the prominent Shipstead Coulee in the southeastern quadrant. This modern 2020 survey reflects a rural infrastructure built upon long-standing township and range divisions, where local transportation relies on a network of named section-line roads. Many of these thoroughfares, including Fladager Rd, Shipstead Rd, and Peerless Lustre Rd, likely carry the names of early homesteading families or local landmarks, providing essential clues for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of this northern Montana prairie. The topographical detail reveals the complex network of draws and ridges that characterize the area's grazing land and dryland farming environment.
