About this map

Bomber Coulee and several other significant drainage channels dominate this portion of Valley County, where the landscape is defined by an extensive system of small-scale water management. Numerous reservoirs, often named for specific families or local characteristics, illustrate the necessity of water collection in this semi-arid terrain. Features like Salty Glen Reservoir, Snow Blind Reservoir, and Old Dog Cr Reservoir are scattered across the landscape, connected by intermittent streams such as Willow Cr and Dog Cr.

The infrastructure of the area is primarily rural and agricultural, with Willow Creek Rd and The Pines Rd providing the main transit routes through the townships of T25N and T26N. Landforms like Two Buttes serve as prominent landmarks for navigation across the coulee-broken plains. This map is particularly valuable for those tracing land use and water rights in this part of Montana, as it identifies localized landmarks like Pearson Coulee and Wilderness Coulee.
