2020 Map of Phillips

About this map

Phillips serves as the central reference point in this expanse of Phillips County, where the high plains are carved by the drainage of Big Warm Cr and its counterpart, Little Warm Cr. The landscape is defined by the open reaches of Parrot Flat and the depressions of Schoolhouse Coulee, reflecting a rural Montana terrain primarily organized around grazing and livestock. A network of local corridors like Hog Farm Rd and Veseth Rd connects remote properties to the larger region. To the southwest, Parrot Lake provides a notable water feature in an otherwise arid stretch of country. This survey illustrates the persistent ranching character of the area, where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the natural contours of the northern plains.
