2014 Map of McKinnsey Reservoir West

About this map

McKinnsey Reservoir sits at the eastern edge of this Hill County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of seasonal drainages and coulees. The water patterns of Flat Coulee and Miranda Coulee illustrate the region's natural drainage toward the north and east, while Russell Cr and Sage Cr wind through the township sections. This area of Montana shows a rigid Public Land Survey System grid, with numbered roads like Road 190 N and Rudyard Rd N following the section lines. The most prominent topographic landmark is Black Butte, rising as a distinct feature above the surrounding prairie. This 2014 survey documents the organized agricultural layout of the plains, where the vast network of county roads supports the remote farmsteads and rural infrastructure characteristic of north-central Montana.
