2017 Map of Bailey Reservoir

About this map

Sage Creek and its tributary, Sage Cr, carve a complex network of drainage across this portion of Hill County, defining a landscape marked by steep coulees and vital water catchments. The terrain is notably dissected by landforms such as Antelope Coulee in the northeast and Schwartz Coulee to the east, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of the Montana plains. Bailey Reservoir and Kiemle Reservoir serve as significant landmarks, anchoring the local hydrology in an area where water management is central to the land's utility. A sparse grid of rural thoroughfares, including S Kremlin Rd, provides the primary access through these townships, following the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map captures the quiet, functional character of the High Line region, where the interplay between dry coulees like Halfway Coulee and man-made reservoirs supports the area's agricultural and ranching foundations.
