2017 Map of Dry Fork Ridge

About this map

Dry Fork Ridge dominates this portion of Phillips County, serving as a high point between the seasonal drainages of northern Montana. The landscape is characterized by an extensive network of water management features, including Veseth Reservoir and the Hoverson Reservoir, which illustrate the critical importance of water storage in this arid ranching environment. Named coulees and creeks like Garey Coulee and Beauchamp Cr carve through the terrain, while the presence of the Buckhorn Pit and Turkey Track Pit indicates localized resource extraction. Transportation is centered on Dry Fork Rd, which provides the primary access through the drainage basins of the W Fork Dry Fork Cr. The map's layout of section lines and reservoirs such as Wrangler Reservoir and Bog Reservoir offers a clear view of how the land has been partitioned and utilized for agricultural and grazing purposes.
