2024 Map of Christenson Reservoir

About this map

Christenson Reservoir and its surrounding watershed define this modern-day landscape in Garfield County, Montana. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and coulees, including Artz Coulee, Myers Coulee, and Jacques Coulee, which highlight the erosion patterns typical of the high plains. Small-scale water management is evident through features like Section Four Reservoir and Antone Reservoir, which serve as critical landmarks in an otherwise open ranching environment. These man-made catchments, alongside named waterways like Graveyard Creek and Christenson Creek, suggest a history of water rights and land use adapted to the semi-arid climate. The survey preserves the precise Public Land Survey System boundaries of t14n r40e and t14n r41e, providing a clear framework for locating property lines and historical land claims.
