About this map

Frenchman Creek carves a deep path through the northern Montana landscape, defining the transition between Phillips and Valley counties. This 2017 survey captures a remote ranching region shaped by water management and sharp drainage features known locally as coulees. The terrain is marked by named landmarks like Three Chimney Coulee and Bohner Coulee, which flow toward the significant waters of the Frenchman Reservoir.

Small settlements such as Valleytown and Genevieve anchor the local road network, which includes Frenchmen Rd and Genevieve Hall Rd. The map illustrates the sophisticated irrigation and drainage infrastructure of the High Plains, where Nelsons Reservoir and the Middle Fork Cash Cr support the agricultural life of the area. These features reveal how the environment has been adapted for livestock and land use in a geography dominated by high ridges and deep, eroded draws.
