About this map

Hagen Gap and Lambs Butte anchor this high plains landscape in Montana's Garfield County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees. The map reveals a land managed for water, dotted with small catchments such as Burgess Reservoir, Cottonwood Reservoir, and Gumbo Reservoir. These basins collect seasonal runoff from drainages like Woody Cr and its E Fork Woody Cr, supporting the ranching operations that have long characterized the region.

A primary thoroughfare, Burgess Rd, snakes through the hills, providing access to remote tracts divided into townships like t20n r41e and t19n r42e. The nomenclature of the coulees, ranging from Christmas Coulee to Coal Slack Coulee and Seven Tree Coulee, suggests a history of local navigation and land usage. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and man-made water improvements essential for life in this arid part of the state.
