About this map

Miller Springs and Johnson Springs define the water-rich character of this semi-arid Valley County landscape, where the natural hydrology is supplemented by an extensive system of catchments and basins. The terrain is characterized by a series of deeply incised drainage channels, including Rock Creek Canyon, Parson Coulee, and Eagles Nest Coulee, which direct seasonal runoff toward the south and east.

Strategic water management is evident throughout the townships, with numerous named catchments such as Emory Reservoir, Mary Black Reservoir, and Abey Reservoir distributed across the high ground of the Landre Hills. These features, alongside isolated ranch roads like Rock Creek Rd and Britsch Rd, illustrate the long-standing infrastructure required for cattle ranching and land use in this part of eastern Montana. The map provides a detailed view of the sectional divisions between T33N and T32N, marking the transition from upland coulees to the spring-fed lowlands.
