2017 Map of Harb SW

About this map

Larb Cr and its associated drainage systems define this landscape along the border of Phillips and Valley Counties. The terrain is marked by a network of seasonal watercourses or coulees, including Pickhandle Coulee, Windmill Coulee, and Trueblood Coulee. These features illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of the northern plains, where water has carved deep paths through the high prairie. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is anchored by Larb Creek Rd, providing the primary terrestrial access through this sparsely settled ranching country. Other notable geographic markers like Albert Coulee, Black Coulee, and Grove Coulee provide essential orientation in a region defined more by its natural topography and land-office partitions than by urban development.
