About this map

Malta sits at a strategic junction on the High Line, where the infrastructure of the northern plains meets the winding course of the Milk River. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by water management and transit, with the Dodson South Canal and Bowdoin Canal cutting through the terrain to support local agriculture. The residential and commercial streets of the town, including S 1st Ave E and Meadow Dr, are shown in detail, alongside the community's Phillips County Cem.

Beyond the town limits, the topography is carved by a network of drainage features like Morton Coulee, Gonzales Coulee, and Black Coulee. These natural depressions contrast with the rigid lines of the rural road network, which includes Old Bentinite Rd and Short Oil Rd, reflecting the area's history of mineral extraction and ranching. The Drabbels Reservoir and the Milk River Bridge serve as vital landmarks in this expansive Phillips County landscape.
