About this map

Lower Crow Reservoir and the Crow Dam anchor the southern landscape of this Lake County region, where complex irrigation infrastructure defines the local geography. A network of canals, including the Pablo 37A Canal and Pablo 71A Canal, snakes through the territory, supporting the ranching and agricultural operations that rely on Mud Creek and Crow Creek. This hydraulic engineering is juxtaposed against prominent natural landmarks such as the Valley View Hills and the distinct volcanic-shaped Round Butte in the west.

The map reveals a landscape transitioning from the open terrain of West Miller Coulee to the elevated forms of Sloan Buttes. Smaller water bodies like Sloan Lake and the northern edge of the Pablo Reservoir further characterize this high-plains environment. The rural road system, from Stagecoach TRL to Back RD, provides a window into the land divisions and settlement patterns of this Montana valley in the early 21st century.
