About this map

Laundry Hill and the surrounding high plains of Valley County define this landscape of water management and livestock grazing. The map documents a sophisticated network of small-scale water infrastructure essential for ranching in this arid environment, featuring numerous named catchments like Jack Reservoir, Mail Reservoir, and Trapper Reservoir. These features, along with Laundry Spring and Engles Spring, indicate the vital reliance on localized water sources throughout the drainage basins of Bear Cr and Canyon Cr.

Human presence is marked primarily by Britsch Rd, which traverses Newberry Flat and Horse Coulee, connecting the dispersed reservoirs. The land is precisely partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the boundaries of t33n r37e and t32n r38e. This 2020 survey illustrates how modern ranching continues to utilize historical landmarks like Ada Reservoir and Anna Reservoir to maintain a presence in this expansive Montana terrain.
