2020 Map of Buckley Lake

About this map

Sun Prairie Flats occupies the northern reach of this Montana landscape, where the terrain transitions from broad plateaus into a series of intricate drainage systems. The namesake Buckley Lake sits centrally, surrounded by a complex network of coulees that define the local topography. To the south, the Larb Hills rise significantly, marked by the prominent Collins Hill and the deeply etched Badland Coulee. This area in Phillips County is characterized by its seasonal water features, including Sage Cr and Tallow Cr, which carve through the land. Modern infrastructure is limited to rural routes like Content Rd and Triple Crossing Rd, which provide access to this ranching and grazing country. The map illustrates a classic High Plains environment where water sources such as Lake PR 19 and Spring Cr are vital landmarks in an otherwise open and relief-heavy territory.
