2011 Map of Cohagen SW

About this map

Red Horse Creek and several forks of Phillips Creek weave through this section of Garfield County, defining a landscape shaped by water management and ranching. The presence of the Mincoff Ranch at the center of the sheet, supported by the Mincoff Reservoir Number 1 Dam and Mincoff Number 2 Dam, illustrates the critical role of localized irrigation and stock water in this part of Montana. These man-made features, alongside the Magnesia Dam, show how early 21st-century land use continues to rely on the seasonal flows of North Phillips Creek and its tributaries. For those tracing local history or genealogy, the Cohagen Cemetery serves as a significant landmark on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, while Little Porcupine Rd provides a primary transit link across the prairie terrain.
