2024 Map of Dice Dam

About this map

Phillips Creek and its various branches, including Middle Phillips Creek and North Phillips Creek, dominate this part of Garfield County. The landscape is defined by the deep drainage patterns of Long Coulee, Coil Coulee, and Tinsley Coulee, which cut through the high plains. Vital water sources for livestock and local use are identified by named points like Upper Hanson Spring, Lower Hanson Spring, and Seventynine Spring. These isolated water features were historically critical for land management in this arid stretch of eastern Montana. The only primary transportation route marked is W Little Dry Rd, which skirts the southern boundary of the survey area, emphasizing the remote nature of these townships. This map provides an exact record of the Public Land Survey System grid across multiple townships, including t16n r39e and t15n r38e.
