About this map

North Chinook Reservoir and its associated water management infrastructure anchor this northern Montana landscape in Blaine County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage coulees, such as Scotchmans Coulee and Chouteau Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff toward the winding course of Battle Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates the vital role of water storage in the high plains, featuring the North Chinook Dam and the uniquely named Mister Flaming Jet Dam.

Transportation in this area remains sparse, primarily consisting of local routes like Anita Rd and Norwegian Rd that navigate the ridges between coulees. The map details the junction where East Fork Battle Creek meets the main stem, providing a clear view of the hydrological patterns essential to regional ranching and agriculture. Other landmarks include the Royal Champion Dam and several family-named terrain features like Burrell Coulee and Corregan Coulee.
