2017 Map of Big Flat East

About this map

Big Flat dominates the landscape of this Phillips County region, a high prairie expanse carved by a network of drainage channels. The northern reach is defined by the Weigand Reservoir and the headwaters of Mud Creek, while the southern terrain is marked by the winding courses of Wild Horse Creek and several distinct geological depressions. The naming of these features, including Tressler Coulee, Chicken Coulee, and Sage Hen Coulee, reflects the local wildlife and pioneer-era topography of this high plains district. Transportation is sparse, anchored by the north-south corridor of Hwy 204 and the evocative Stage Coach Rd, which traces a historic path across the northern townships. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, from T29N R26E down to T27N R27E, illustrating the systematic grid of section lines that organized this remote grazing and ranching territory.
