2011 Map of Ellsworth Coulee

About this map

The Milk River corridor defines the southern edge of this Valley County landscape, where the Vandalia Diversion Dam serves as a significant hydraulic anchor for regional irrigation. This water management network extends north through the prairie, marked by various small-scale structures such as Kielman Dam and Morgan Number 1 Dam. The terrain is characterized by a series of drainage features, notably Ellsworth Coulee, Lund Coulee, and Hall Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff toward the river. Localized water sources like Whitbread Springs and the uniquely named Confusion Reservoir provide essential points of interest in an otherwise sparse drainage system. The transportation network is primarily composed of section-line roads, including Vandalia Rd and Britch Rd, which connect the scattered agricultural improvements and natural landmarks of the northern Montana plains.
