About this map

North Chinook Reservoir sits at the heart of this high plains landscape in northern Montana, serving as a primary hydrological feature within the drainage basin of Battle Cr. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct erosional draws and depressions, including Corregan Coulee, Burrell Coulee, and Scotchmans Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff toward the reservoir. These coulees reveal the intricate topography typical of the region's semi-arid environment.

A sparse network of rural routes, such as Anita Rd, Sage Rd, and Norweigain Rd, provides access across the grid-patterned sections of Blaine County. The alignment of these roads often follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, highlighting the orderly distribution of land in this part of the state. Other named features like Link Coulee and Chouteau Coulee provide further geographic context for those studying the local natural history or land use patterns in this rural township.
