About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates this aquatic landscape in Valley County, where the water's edge carves a complex shoreline of inlets and peninsulas. The terrain is largely defined by the sprawling Cmr Nwr, a significant protected area within the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge. This 2020 map documents the intricate geography of the reservoir's Dry Arm, showing how the fluctuating water levels meet points of land like Haxby Point and Markles Point.

Named islands and recessed bays characterize the region, which serves as a remote intersection of Garfield, McCone, and Valley counties. Isolated features like York Island and several wildlife-named coves, such as Sturgeon Bay and Catfish Bay, highlight the area's importance for conservation and recreation. The lack of major roads or settlements emphasizes the primitive and undisturbed nature of the Missouri River country in the twenty-first century.
