HD 392 covers the eastern Missouri Breaks and the country running along the south side of Fort Peck Reservoir—CMR Refuge ground, badlands prairie, and the long shoreline of one of the largest reservoirs in the country. Elevations run from about 2,200 feet on Fort Peck to 3,500 feet on the bench-top prairie. The country is CMR Breaks east of the Hell Creek Recreation Area country: badland buttes, cottonwood-and-willow shoreline corridors, sandstone coulees, juniper-pine draws on the north aspects, sage and grass on the flats. The Hell Creek Formation outcrops here are the same dinosaur-fossil beds that produced the famous Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops finds—occasional bone fragments turn up. Elk are the headline animal—the eastern CMR holds one of the better elk populations in eastern Montana, with mature bulls available on limited tags. Mule deer use the breaks and the rocky outcrops; whitetail in the river and creek bottoms; pronghorn on the prairie; the bighorn herd ranges onto refuge ground here too. Refuge ground is the bulk of the public access, with BLM and DNRC state interspersed and private ranches on the perimeter. Refuge regs apply—read the CMR regulations and the unit's specific rules. Hell Creek Road from Jordan is the principal access; the Pines Recreation Area provides the boat-access entry from the reservoir north shore. Jordan has gas, motels, the courthouse, basic groceries; Glasgow is north on the reservoir's far shore; Sand Springs and Cohagen are tiny outposts. Cell service is gone in the breaks. The roads gumbo when wet and the BLM-CMR roads have a deserved reputation for stranding trucks. Bring food, water, recovery gear, and patience. The hunting is excellent for those who put in the prep work.
