2014 Map of Dry Coulee

About this map

Missouri River and Fort Peck Lake anchor this landscape along the boundary of Phillips and Petroleum counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and topographical features named for early ranching and homesteading efforts, including the prominent C K Ridge and the deeply etched Dry Coulee. Near the southern edge, Woods Place represents a focal point of human activity in this otherwise sparse region, while several reservoirs such as Timber Pit Reservoir and Big Rock Reservoir underscore the critical importance of water management in this arid environment.
