About this map

Assiniboine Creek and the Dry Fork channel water through this high plains drainage system in Phillips County. The landscape is defined by its water management infrastructure, featuring the Kelso Number 1 Dam and the PR-174 Dam, which serve to regulate flow across the arid terrain. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural region where drainage features like Exeter Creek and Wilson Coulee provide the primary geographic orientation. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the intricate network of coulees and creeks that shape the North American plains, reflecting a modern period of topographic recording where small dams and local waterways remain central to the character of the land.
