2017 Map of Dammel Reservoir

About this map

Dammel Reservoir and the winding course of Flat Cr anchor this high plains landscape in Chouteau County. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Mud Spring Coulee and Mud Springs, which cut through the agricultural sections of Township 23 North and Township 22 North. The topography is dominated by Haystack Butte in the southern portion of the quadrangle, a prominent landmark in an otherwise open stretch of Montana prairie. This 2017 survey details the network of rural section-line roads and named tracks like Prairie Dog Jim Rd and Dorn Coulee Rd that provide access to this remote region. The map illustrates how water management and natural drainage dictate the layout of the landscape, from the reservoir in the east to the deep coulees in the west.
