2014 Map of Lake Reservoir

About this map

High-plains water management and drainage define this section of Phillips County, where a network of catchment basins like Lake Reservoir and Monster Reservoir dot the landscape. The terrain is deeply etched by a system of coulees and creeks, most notably Beauchamp Cr and Cline Cr, which draw water through the arid cattle country of north-central Montana. The presence of Garden Coulee and the prominent C K Ridge suggests a complex topography of ridges and draws that historically dictated the movement of livestock and the placement of remote ranching outposts.
