2017 Map of Cohagen SW

About this map

Knudson Coulee and the branching drainages of the Phillips Creek system define this section of Garfield County. The terrain is structured by a complex network of seasonal watercourses, including N Phillips Creek and Middle Phillips Creek, which flow through the arid landscape. The Public Land Survey System grid heavily influences the local geography, with numerous sections demarcated across townships such as t15n r40e. While predominantly undeveloped, the area is accessible via W Little Dry Rd, which skirts the southern reaches near Little Dry Creek. This 2017 survey reflects the remote ranching character of central Montana, where water management remains the primary driver of human activity and land use, as seen in the scattered small stock reservoirs and catchments that dot the drainage basins like Red Horse Creek.
