2020 Map of Ellsworth Coulee

About this map

The Milk River flows across the southern portion of this Valley County landscape, defining the local hydrology alongside the Rock Cr Canal. This area is characterized by a network of drainage ravines and water management features, including the eponymous Ellsworth Coulee and nearby Lund Coulee. The presence of VR-80 Reservoir and Confusion Reservoir in the northern sections indicates a landscape adapted for water storage and irrigation. These reservoirs, fed by intermittent streams like Lime Cr, support the agricultural and ranching operations that depend on the local water supply. Historic land divisions are visible through the grid of rural roads such as Vandalia Dam Rd and Britsch Rd, which connect the scattered water sources and topographical landmarks like Whitbread Springs.
