About this map

Sun Prairie Flats dominate the northern landscape of Phillips County in this recent survey, where the sparse settlement of Sun Prairie sits along the western edge. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage patterns that reflect the arid character of the Montana plains. Water features such as Telegraph Cr and Smith Cr carve through the prairie, alongside Dog Cr and Bog Cr.

Transportation in this remote ranching country is facilitated by a few primary routes, including Content Rd, Reynolds Rd, and Fourchette Bay Rd. The map also captures the significant drainage of Box Elder Cr and Box Elder Coulee at the northern and southern margins. This survey provides a modern record of the township and range system, showing the enduring boundaries and public land survey system divisions across the expansive grassland.
