About this map

Black Coulee dominates the northern and western reaches of this high plains landscape in Valley County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages defines the local topography. The map illustrates a sparse but essential ranching infrastructure, anchored by water management features like Reservoir Number-Four. Numerous watercourses, including Brush Fork, Bear Cr, and Canyon Cr, converge as they move toward the Milk River valley just south of this sheet.

Surface transportation is limited to a few primary arteries such as Bear Creek Rd and Tampico Rd N, which cut across the Public Land Survey System grid. In the southern margin, Us-2 serves as the main east-west corridor, connecting this remote terrain to the wider region. The map also captures the distinct branching patterns of Buggy Cr and Crooked Cr, revealing the erosion-carved nature of the Montana prairie in the early 21st century.
