| |
The
Northern Cheyenne Reservation Area is located in southeastern Montana.
Terrain varies from low, grass- covered hills to high, steep outcroppings
and narrow valleys. Elevations range from 1,000 to 1,500 m (3,000 to 5,000
ft).
The IMPROVE site representing the Northern Cheyenne Reservation Area,
NOCH1, is located on rolling plains land 9 km east of Lame Deer, the
nearest town. The site elevation is 1332 m (4370 ft). The surrounding
terrain is low hills which can be taken as relatively flat on the scale of
synoptic winds. The site thus has good exposure to regional scale transport
winds. Surrounding ground cover is predominantly forest and moderate
grassland. |
