About this map

Burkhartsmeyer Reservoir sits on the western edge of this Hill County landscape, a vital water source in a region defined by its wide, semi-arid drainage patterns. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is shaped by a network of seasonal watercourses including Sage Creek, O'Brien Coulee, and Alkali Coulee, which cut through the northern plains. The presence of numerous Storage Bins scattered across the township grid underscores the area's agricultural focus during this era. Industrial activity is represented by localized features such as a Gas Well and a Gravel Pit, while natural depressions like Dry Lake reflect the fluctuating hydrology of the Montana high plains. This map provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and land management practices at the close of the 1960s.
