2011 Map of North Chinook Reservoir NW

About this map

Battle Creek meanders across this northern Montana landscape, defining the drainage patterns of Blaine County near the Saskatchewan border. The terrain is characterized by deep erosional features like Woodpile Coulee and Twin Coulee, which cut through the high plains toward the creek bed. Local infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily on rural routes such as Woodpile Rd and Ellome Rd. A significant man-made landmark, the Golden Gate Reservoir Dam, controls water flow in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey captures the area’s ranching and water management footprint, where the vast open spaces are punctuated by the intricate branching of intermittent streams feeding into the main valley.
