2014 Map of Phillips

About this map

Phillips sits at the intersection of prairie rangeland and the drainages of the Missouri River watershed in Phillips County. This 2014 survey documents a landscape of intermittent waterways and low-lying basins, characterized by the meandering courses of Big Warm Cr and Little Warm Cr. These streams converge near the settlement, while the Little Warm Reservoir provides a critical point of water management for the surrounding ranching operations. The terrain is marked by distinctive coulees and flats that define the local topography, including Schoolhouse Coulee to the west and south, and the broad expanse of Parrot Flat near Parrot Lake. This map captures the essential road network of the High Plains, where Us-191 serves as the primary artery connecting the region, supported by local ranch roads like Hog Ranch Rd and Veseth Rd.
