About this map

Water management and ranching infrastructure define this section of Phillips County, Montana, as shown in the early twenty-first century. The landscape is marked by a network of drainage systems and man-made impoundments designed for livestock or irrigation in an arid environment. Notable among these is the Lake Reservoir and its associated Lake Reservoir Dam, which serve as a central hub for the region's scattered water resources.

Several smaller basins are distributed across the terrain, including Monster Reservoir, Badger Reservoir, and Dan Reservoir. These features, along with the Wildlife Reservoir and Buckskin Reservoir, provide critical water points between the seasonal flows of Beauchamp Creek and C K Creek. The map offers a clear view of how land is utilized in this part of Montana, emphasizing the importance of hydrology in the local economy.
