About this map

Stratton Reservoir and a network of essential water management features define this high-plains landscape in Phillips County. The terrain is a study in prairie hydrology, where drainage systems like Second Cr and Third Cr feed into numerous man-made catchments including King Reservoir, Skull Reservoir, and McNeil Reservoir. These features, along with Dry Lake and the expansive Sun Prairie Flats, illustrate the ranching and resource management priorities of this section of Montana.

Surface infrastructure is minimal but strategically placed, primarily consisting of graded routes like Regina Rd and Sun Prairie Rd. The map also captures distinctive geological depressions and landforms such as Tank Coulee, providing a clear look at the township and range divisions of T23N, T24N, and T25N. These details provide a thorough account of the area's rural character and the ways in which water is harnessed in an arid environment.
