2017 Map of McKinnsey Reservoir West

About this map

McKinnsey Reservoir and the prominent rising of Black Butte define this portion of Hill County, Montana. The landscape is marked by the distinct drainage patterns of Flat Coulee and Miranda Coulee, which cut through the high plains toward Sage Cr and Russell Cr. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a modern agricultural and ranching environment structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t36n r9e and t35n r8e dictating the placement of rural roads. A sparse network of county routes, including Rd 190 N and Hwy 255, connects the isolated sections of this northern Montana terrain, reflecting the expansive scale of land management in the region.
