About this map

The East Malta Colony and the small settlement of Pinks define the human landscape of this Phillips County territory in the mid-2010s. Set against the elevated terrain of the Larb Hills, the area is characterized by a complex drainage network that feeds into Beaver Creek. The topography is marked by numerous seasonal watercourses known locally as coulees, including Gilbertson Coulee, Crooks Coulee, and Pennington Coulee.

Transport and access are maintained via a grid of rural routes such as Lower Harb Rd and E Malta Colony Rd, which connect these isolated agricultural and communal outposts. The presence of the Bauer Reservoir and features like Abrahamson Coulee indicate the ongoing importance of water management in this high plains environment. This survey captures a moment of modern communal living and dry-land ranching at the edge of the Missouri River breaks.
