About this map

Nelson Reservoir and its associated drainage systems define this section of Phillips County, Montana, as it appeared in the early 2010s. The landscape is shaped by the winding course of Beaver Creek, which flows through a region marked by numerous small water bodies and seasonal drainages. Local landmarks include Mitchell Corner in the southeast and the wide expanse of Alkali Flat to the north, illustrating the semi-arid character of the high plains.

Evidence of local water management and cattle ranching geography is found in the labeling of Puckett Reservoir, Camp Coulee, and Nelson Coulee. The primary thoroughfare through this remote terrain is Sun Prairie Rd, connecting the scattered water resources and landmarks. This map provides a clear view of the complex hydrography and rural infrastructure including Little Sevenmile Creek in a part of the state where water dictates the pattern of settlement.
