2017 Map of Pea Ridge

About this map

Pea Ridge and the winding drainages of Phillips County define this 2017 survey, where a complex network of coulees and intermittent water sources sustains the high plains. The landscape is carved by deep erosion features including Horse Pasture Coulee, Hardpan Coulee, and Cottonwood Coulee, all of which feed toward the N Fork Fourchette Cr and the main branch of Fourchette Cr. Scattered water management features like Shale Reservoir and the Fish/Fossil Reservoir provide critical infrastructure for this part of Montana. Isolated transportation is represented by Midale Road, while the Public Land Survey System grid provides the primary framework for the area, which spans four townships including t23n r29e and t22n r30e. This map illustrates the intersection of geological history and modern land use in a region where every named coulee and reservoir represents a vital resource.
