2017 Map of Down Reservoir

About this map

Down Reservoir and the drainage network of the Milk River basin define this arid section of the Montana high plains. The terrain is marked by the meandering paths of Dodson Cr and its northern branch, N Fork Dodson Cr, which carve subtle coulees through the townships of t33n r26e, t32n r26e, and t32n r27e. The landscape is largely defined by the county line between Blaine Co and Phillips Co, which bisects the quadrangle vertically. The sparse infrastructure consists primarily of section-line cattle guards and the gravel path of N Dodson Rd, reflecting the region's enduring character as open rangeland and vital watershed for local livestock operations.
