2024 Map of Malta West

About this map

Malta serves as the focal point of this northern Montana landscape, where the Milk River carves a winding path through the prairie. The town's significance as a local government seat is evidenced by the Phillips County Courthouse, situated near the river's edge. This area demonstrates a highly managed agricultural environment, defined by the extensive irrigation infrastructure of the Dodson North Canal and Dodson South Canal. Beyond the irrigated valley, the terrain shifts into the drainage patterns of Alkali Creek and the deep incisions of Taylor Coulee. Local transportation history is marked by the presence of Kid Curry Rd, named for the infamous outlaw, while the Malta Airport and various rural routes like Rte 363 connect the remote ranching and farming operations to the county center.
