About this map

Warm Springs Cr and Rock Cr define the drainage patterns across this section of Phillips County, where the landscape is marked by a network of intermittent streams and managed water resources. A series of small-scale impoundments, including Phillips Reservoir, Waydown Reservoir, and J D Reservoir, illustrates the essential role of water management in this arid environment. The terrain rises from the creek beds into distinct landforms such as the Sand Hills and the deep incisions of Chimney Gulch and Grouse Gulch.

Evidence of local ranching and land use appears in the naming of features like McChesney Reservoir and Pearl Reservoir, which likely serve as vital stock water sources. The presence of The Plunge along the upper reaches of Warm Springs Cr suggests a notable natural feature or local landmark within the township grid. Remote roads like Kelsey Rd and 7 Mile Rd provide the primary access through this vast expanse of rangeland, connecting scattered points of interest like Kieth Coulee and Whitmore Spring Cr.
