About this map

Burnett Flats dominates this section of Valley County, where the dry landscape of eastern Montana is punctuated by man-made water storage and seasonal drainage patterns. The ranching and industrial infrastructure is evident through a series of reservoirs, including Hamms Reservoir, Moccasin Reservoir, Hurricane Reservoir, and Arrambide Reservoir. These catchments, along with smaller features like Jini Reservoir, suggest a reliance on managed water resources in a region carved by the Arrambide Coulee and the headwaters of Little Beaver Cr.

Transportation in the area is defined by functional access, most notably Bentonite Rd, which points to the mineral extraction history of the Missouri River Breaks region. The landscape is further divided by the North Fork Lone Tree Creek and served by local routes like Burnett Spur Rd and TC Access Rd, showing the sparse but vital network of roads that maintain connectivity across these vast grazing lands.
