2017 Map of Richmond Reservoir SW

About this map

Chouteau Coulee and the surrounding drainage basins define the topography of this high plains section of Blaine County. This 2017 survey details the sparse ranching and agricultural infrastructure characteristic of northern Montana, marked by a systematic grid of section lines and secondary routes like Middle Rd and Xeno Rd. The hydrology is centered on seasonal waterways and water storage, most notably the Twin Reservoir and the intermittent flow of Dry Fork Battle Cr. These features illustrate the vital role of water management in a region where natural drainage channels like coulees are primary landmarks. The map serves as a record of the modern landscape before further shifts in land use or water levels affect these prairie resources.
