About this map

Two Medicine River and Badger Creek wind through this Glacier County landscape, defining a network of deep drainage channels. The topography is dominated by dramatic erosional features, most notably White Man Coulee in the southeast and Big Nose Coulee in the northwest. These landforms provide a clear view of the prairie's transition into the foothills, where seasonal waterways like Spring Cr have carved into the plateau over millennia.

Modern infrastructure follows the contours of the land, seen in the paths of Joe Show E Rd and Joe Show W Rd. For researchers interested in historical movement through the region, the Kipp Trl traces a route across the southeastern corner, crossing near the lower reaches of Badger Creek. The map provides an essential look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, showing the intersections of Range 9 and 10 West across three different Townships.
