2020 Map of Killenbeck Reservoir

About this map

Killenbeck Reservoir anchors the northern portion of this High Plains landscape in Daniels County. The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage of Butte Cr, reflecting the characteristic topography of the Missouri Plateau. This 2020 edition reveals the expansive rural layout of the region, where a grid of section-line roads like Butte Valley Road and Chicoine Road connects isolated ranching interests and seasonal wetlands. The map illustrates how human settlement adapts to the drainage patterns of the northern plains, with road networks carefully tracing the dry coulees and creek beds that define the local hydrology. This representation is essential for understanding modern land use and water management in one of Montana's most northern reaches near the Canadian border.
