About this map

Middle Fork Milk River and its multiple branches define this drainage basin in northern Montana. The landscape is characterized by a series of deep coulees including Davis Coulee, Peterson Coulee, and Burd Coulee, which channel water toward the various forks of the Milk River system. The small settlement of Wetzel sits in the southern portion of the quadrangle near Spring Coulee, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural operations.

Transport through this part of Glacier County is facilitated by a network of established routes like Duck Lake Rd and Sard Ranch Rd. Local history is embedded in the naming of features such as Whiskey Gap Rd and the Livermore Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of Livermore Cr. The map illustrates the 21st-century configuration of these rural transit corridors and the specific land divisions of Township 35 and 36 North.
