About this map

Salsbery Reservoir and several other named catchments characterize this section of Phillips County, where the management of water is central to the landscape. The drainage system is defined by the winding courses of E Fork Whitewater Cr and Stinky Cr, which cut through the northern and western sections of the quadrangle. These waterways are supplemented by family-named landmarks such as Charley Reservoir, Louie Reservoir, and Schmittou Reservoir, indicating the area's history of ranching and resource development.

Transportation in this northern Montana reach is facilitated by a network of rural routes including Turkey Track Rd and E Forks Rd. The terrain is marked by distinctive features like Water Coulee and the more substantial Big Reservoir and Fjeldheim Reservoir. This survey captures a specialized prairie environment where survival and industry are tied to the seasonal flows and stored waters of these minor forks and creeks.
