About this map

Malta serves as the primary hub in this portion of Phillips County, situated where the northern plains meet the vital water systems of the Milk River. The town's layout is clearly defined by a residential grid, including streets like S 2nd St E and S 6th St E, and its local history is anchored by the Phillips County Cem at the edge of the settlement. The landscape south of the river is characterized by an extensive network of drainage features, notably Morton Coulee, Gonzales Coulee, and Black Coulee, which carve through the high prairie ground.

Transportation and irrigation infrastructure are central to the region's character. Significant crossings include the Milk River Bridge and the Dodson South Canal Bridge, which facilitate movement across the Dodson South Canal as it parallels the river. A web of rural roads, such as Old Bentinite Rd and Content Rd, provides access to the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands, while Drabbels Reservoir offers a localized point of water management in the southeastern reaches of the territory.
