About this map

Beaver Creek meanders through this section of Phillips County, defining a drainage system marked by numerous coulees and seasonal waterways. The landscape is characterized by the intricate erosion patterns of Guston Coulee, Moss Coulee, and Pickhandle Coulee, which draw toward the main creek bed. Human presence is marked by the intersecting lines of Harb Rd and Beaver Creek Rd, following the natural contours of the drainage basin. This area represents a classic example of high-plains topography, where tributaries like Sevenmile Creek and Cottonwood Creek have carved deep into the terrain over millennia. The Public Land Survey System grid lines for t28n r32e and surrounding townships provide a formal structure over this complex network of draws and ridges.
