About this map

Wilder Ridge and the winding drainages of Wilder Coulee define this Phillips County landscape, where the management of water is central to the land's utility. This 2014 survey reveals a sophisticated network of small-scale reservoirs strategically positioned across the terrain. These catchments, including Sagebrush Reservoir, Paleface Reservoir, and Gullwing Reservoir, were likely developed for livestock and conservation purposes in this arid region of Montana.

The hydrology of the area is further characterized by the seasonal flow of Sevenmile Cr and Rock Cr. The map preserves local nomenclature through features like the Manning Corral Reservoir and Taint Reservoir, which reflect the ranching history and local geography of the northern plains. This topographic study provides a detailed view of the contour changes and water resources within Township 22 and 23 North, capturing the physical character of the land in the early 21st century.
