2024 Map of Salsbery Reservoir

About this map

Salsbery Reservoir and a network of namesake livestock and irrigation impoundments define this landscape in Phillips County, Montana. The terrain is deeply etched by drainages such as Stinky Creek and its eastern fork, which move through the low-lying Water Coulee toward the East Fork Whitewater Creek. The arrangement of these water features—including Schmittou Reservoir, Louie Reservoir, and Charley Reservoir—illustrates the critical role of water management in this arid northern prairie. While the map is sparse of traditional towns, the presence of named infrastructure like Turkey Track Rd and the Fjeldheim Reservoir reflects the area's legacy of large-scale ranching and land use at the turn of the 21st century.
