2017 Map of Malta West

About this map

Malta serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern Great Plains, where the winding course of the Milk River meets a structured network of irrigation and transportation. The landscape is defined by the extensive Dodson South Canal, which snakes through the western terrain to support the region's agricultural viability. North of the river, the Malta Airport and landmarks like Mackie Sq mark the town's expansion, while the surrounding prairie is dissected by drainage features such as Exeter Cr and Alkali Cr. To the south, the topography shifts toward the undulations of Taylor Coulee, illustrating the transition from the river valley to the more varied rangeland beyond. Local roads like Kid Curry Rd provide glimpses into the area's frontier heritage and its continued role as a remote hub in Phillips County.
