2017 Map of Dione Reservoir

About this map

Dione Reservoir and several other small impoundments define the drainage patterns of this Phillips County landscape. The area is characterized by intermittent waterways like Second Cr and Third Cr, which carve through the plains. Local land management is evident in the naming of features such as Horse Pasture Coulee, reflecting a history of ranching and livestock movement. These small reservoirs, including Archie Reservoir, Carberry Reservoir, and Carter Reservoir, were essential for water storage in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to a handful of routes, notably Indian Lake Rd in the southwest and Regina Rd in the northeast, which connect the isolated pastures and water sources across the township lines of the Missouri River Breaks region.
