2017 Map of Down Reservoir NE

About this map

The high plains of northern Montana are defined here by a series of drainage systems cutting through the landscape on the border of Blaine and Phillips counties. Notable features include Little Jewel Coulee and Black Coulee in the north, while the southeastern corner is marked by seasonal wetland pockets and the paths of Reservoir Coulee and Coburg Coulee. The map illustrates a remote grazing or agricultural environment where infrastructure is limited to long-distance routes like Black Coulee Rd and N Dodson Rd, which follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. These roads provide the primary access to the vast townships of t35n r26e and t34n r26e, revealing the organized, rectilinear settlement patterns common to the American West.
