About this map

The Milk River carves a winding path through this portion of Phillips County, defining the local geography with its prominent Big Bend and numerous intersecting drainage features. This 2014 survey captures the landscape as it transitions from the high plains into the drainage basins of Butte Coulee and Martins Coulee. The topography is marked by a series of erosion-carved coulees, including Canty Coulee and Spring Coulee, which dictate the local transportation routes.

Human presence is etched into the terrain via the north-south corridor of Us-191 and the primitive track of River Rd. To the south, the margin of the Nelson Reservoir and the uniquely named Lone Tree Sag provide evidence of water management and distinct local landmarks in this northern Montana reach. The map serves as a record of the intricate land divisions across townships T33N and T32N, showing how the natural coulees and the river intersect with established road networks.
