About this map

Billick Coulee and Miller Coulee define the drainage patterns of this Valley County landscape, where the management of water is central to the land's utility. The terrain is marked by numerous engineered water sources, including the significant Wagon Top Reservoir and Two Butte Reservoir. These features, along with numbered points like Reservoir Number 14, suggest a highly managed rangeland or agricultural environment designed to capture runoff in a semi-arid region.

Ephemeral and perennial flows such as Antelope Cr, Brazil Cr, and Horsecreek Cr snake through the township blocks. The presence of Bentenite Rd provides a specific industrial clue to the area's geology, referencing the clay minerals often mined in this part of Montana. This survey serves as a precise record of the intersection between natural coulees and human-made water infrastructure at the start of the 2010s.
