About this map

Sun Prairie Flats dominates the central portion of this Phillips County landscape, illustrating a classic expanse of Montana prairie characterized by seasonal drainages and subtle depressions. The map reveals a complex system of dry washes and coulees, most notably The Big Sag and the converging branches of South Fork Sheep Coulee and North Fork Sheep Coulee. These features represent the drainage network feeding into Sheep Coulee, providing vital topographic context for the semi-arid region.

Remote transportation routes like Sun Prairie Rd and Content Rd provide the primary access through this sparsely populated territory. The presence of Flat Cr and Sage Cr further defines the hydrology of the area, while Box Elder Coulee marks the southeastern terrain. This survey is a precise record of the land surface and section lines in Township 25 and 26 North, essential for understanding the late-20th-century ranching and environmental layout of this specific quadrant.
