About this map

The Milk River carves a meandering path through this portion of Phillips County, characterized by the dramatic oxbow at Big Bend. This semi-arid landscape is defined by its water management and drainage patterns, featuring the northern reaches of the Nelson Reservoir and several localized water control structures like White Dam and Bozo Dam. The terrain is marked by traditional western coulees and depressions, such as Martins Coulee, Canty Coulee, and the distinctively named Lone Tree Sag.

Transportation in this rural stretch is primarily facilitated by the Milk River Rd, which follows the general corridor of the waterway. Small tributaries like Little Cottonwood Creek and Spring Coulee feed into the river system, illustrating the hydrology of the northern Montana plains. The map provides a detailed look at the section lines and rural infrastructure used for ranching and water distribution in the early 21st century.
