2024 Map of Fanny Hill

About this map

The Milk River defines the eastern edge of this northern Montana landscape, where the prairie transitions into a series of drainages and topographical rises. Central to this area is Fanny Hill, a prominent elevation that overlooks a network of seasonal watercourses including Cottonwood Creek and Little Cottonwood Creek. The township and range lines of the Public Land Survey System structure the geography, revealing the rectangular grid of local transport routes like Fanning Hill Rd and Cottonwood Rd. This contemporary survey illustrates a sparsely populated region of Phillips County, where the topography is dominated by erosion-carved features such as Austin Coulee. The presence of U.S. Route 191 provides the primary north-south artery through the river valley, connecting this high plains environment to the broader state infrastructure.
