2020 Map of Miller Coulee East

About this map

Miller Coulee serves as the central geographic axis for this portion of Valley County, where the landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainage basins and water management. Unlike many neighboring regions, this area is characterized by a high density of small, named reservoirs, suggesting a highly managed hydraulic environment for cattle or agricultural use in the Montana plains. Named features such as Dicks Reservoir, Wilson Reservoir, and McIntyre Reservoir are situated along the ephemeral flows of Sage Hen Cr and Coyote Cr. The presence of the Little Beaver Rd and the Thunderhead Pit Reservoir indicates localized infrastructure supporting transport and excavation. The map's detail provides a specialized record of land use within the t27n r38e and t26n r38e townships, documenting the distribution of water sources across the high prairie.
