2024 Map of Miller Coulee West

About this map

Arrambide Coulee and Miller Coulee define the rolling drainage basins of Valley County in this modern survey. The landscape is characterized by an intricate network of water management features, including the large Grub Detention Reservoir and Tomahawk Detention Reservoir, which serve as vital infrastructure for the arid plains. These reservoirs, often named for local figures or descriptive landmarks such as Kaulitski Reservoir and Thunderhead Pit Reservoir, illustrate the significant human modification of the prairie to sustain livestock and agricultural operations. Access across this sparsely populated region is provided by local routes like Little Beaver Rd and Beaver Rd, tracing the paths between South Fork Beaver Creek and Sage Hen Creek. The map offers a clear view of the ranching-driven geography where every water source, from the Cisco Reservoir to Aldrin Reservoir, is a named and essential landmark.
