About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates the central landscape of this Montana quadrangle, where the border between Valley County and Garfield County follows the water's edge. This modern topographic study reveals a deeply dissected terrain of drainage channels and coulees that feed into the massive reservoir. Named geological features like the evocative Hell Hole Coulee, Cut Throat Coulee, and Wolfe Coulee define the rugged north shore, illustrating the complex erosion patterns characteristic of this region's high plains.

Infrastructure is sparse across this section of the Missouri River breaks, primarily consisting of remote routes like Timber Creek Trl and Natl Forest Develop Road 213 Rd. Further south, Billy Coulee and Thoit Coulee carve through the landscape, showing the many ephemeral waterways such as Timber Cr that contribute to the basin's hydrology. The map provides a precise look at the township and range system, including t23n r34e, in an area defined more by its physical geography than human settlement.
