2011 Map of Blizzard Reservoir

About this map

Blizzard Reservoir and Big Snowy Reservoir anchor this 2011 topographical study of Phillips County, Montana. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of C K Creek and the meandering path of Sevenmile Creek to the south. A central human element in this sparsely populated region is the Nichols Coulee Camp, which sits along a network of local roads and 4WD tracks. These features indicate a landscape primarily managed for water storage and livestock grazing, with intermittent stream flows like Spring Creek providing essential seasonal water for the surrounding prairie. This digital-era map provides a precise account of the topographical elevation and hydrology that dictate movement and land use in this specific section of the Montana plains.
