2020 Map of Morgan

About this map

Morgan sits at the northern edge of this Phillips County landscape, situated directly against the international boundary with Canada. This high plains region is defined by a series of drainage patterns that carve through the prairie, including Cottonwood Coulee, Big Coulee, and Lone Tree Coulee. These coulees provide the primary topographical relief in an otherwise expansive terrain, illustrating the natural water-shedding characteristics of the Montana borderlands. Transport through this sparsely settled area is marked by the straight-line path of Border Rd, which runs parallel to the boundary of the United States of America. The map documents the persistent township and range system, including t37n r29e, which organizes the rural land into a distinct grid typical of the American West.
