2011 Map of Morgan

About this map

Morgan sits at the northern edge of Phillips County, just south of the international border with Saskatchewan. This high plains landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Whitewater Creek, which winds through the western half of the map. Several distinctive geographic depressions, or coulees, carve through the prairie, including Cottonwood Coulee, Big Coulee, and Lone Tree Coulee. These features indicate the subtle but critical relief of the drainage basin in an otherwise flat expanse. The map highlights the localized water management necessary for this arid environment, evidenced by named reservoirs and irrigation points like French Fry Number 1 Dam, Jumbo Number 1 Dam, PR-54 Dam, and Compton Dam. Transportation in this northern Montana outpost is anchored by the Morgan Airport, serving as a vital link for this sparsely populated border region.
