About this map

Alkali Flat and its expansive wetland systems dominate the northwestern portion of this Phillips County landscape, illustrating the unique drainage patterns of the Montana high plains. The area is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and coulees, including Nelson Coulee and Camp Coulee, which channel runoff toward more permanent features like Beaver Creek. The sparse human footprint in this environment is represented primarily by the Emond Ranch, a testament to the large-scale ranching operations that have long characterized the region's economy.

Primary access through this territory is provided by Sun Prairie Rd, which bisects the northern sections as it follows the natural contours between drainages. Water management for livestock and local use is visible at Puckett Reservoir in the south. The mapping of Seven Mile Coulee and Little Sevenmile Creek reflects the intricate topological detail required for navigating and managing this open rangeland.
