About this map

Sumner anchors the western edge of this Phillips County landscape, situated within a topography defined by significant drainage features and isolated water bodies. The terrain is notably dissected by a network of coulees, including Cowie Coulee, Gloyn Coulee, and Alkali Coulee, which pattern the land in a series of sharp depressions that eventually slope toward the namesake Horseshoe Lake in the northeast.

Infrastructure in this portion of Montana remains sparse, dominated by a grid of rural routes such as Turner Cutacross Rd and Grailan Rd. These paths navigate the open spaces between townships t36n r28e and t35n r28e, illustrating the vast, organized nature of the Public Land Survey System in this region. The map provides a clear record of the area's hydrology and land divisions, from the northern stretches near Watkins Dr down to Lambing Coulee.
