About this map

Somers Reservoir and Badger Reservoir anchor the drainage patterns of this Valley County landscape, where the seasonal movement of water is defined by a network of coulees. The terrain is deeply incised by erosion, with named features such as Road Coulee, Hammond Coulee, and Grant Coulee carving through the prairie. This 2020 map documents the modern ranching and resource-extraction infrastructure of the region, evidenced by access routes like Bentonite Rd and Ridge Rd.

The hydrography of the Burnett Flats area is characterized by scattered, small-scale catchments including Clover Reservoir, John Reservoir, and Bend Reservoir. These features, along with the S Fork Little Beaver Cr, highlight the importance of water management in an arid environment. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, such as t27n r35e, which continue to define the cadastral layout of rural Montana.
