About this map

Barber Coulee and Scott Coulee carve through the high plains of Phillips County in this modern topographic survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage systems, including the headwaters of Fourchette Cr and the winding path of Dry Fork Cr. This map captures a remote section of Montana rangeland where human infrastructure is limited to a sparse grid of section lines and gravel paths like Midale Rd and Dry Fork Rd.

Surface water is a vital element of this arid terrain, represented by Shed Lake and Beam Lake in the northern reaches. The presence of these small water bodies and the various creek branches, such as Second Cr and Third Cr, suggests the importance of water management for local ranching operations. The survey provides a clear view of the complex topography that dictates the flow of water across these vast townships.
