About this map

Reservoir Number Four and the winding drainages of Valley County define this stretch of the Montana landscape, where water management is central to the local geography. The terrain is marked by a series of significant coulees and seasonal creek beds, including Black Coulee and Unger Coulee, which carve through the high plains. The network of watercourses, such as Brush Fork and Canyon Cr, suggests a rural environment shaped by natural drainage patterns and agricultural necessity.

Surface transportation is focused on primary arteries like Bear Creek Rd and Tampico N Rd, which provide access to the vast townships. These roads follow the contours of the land, connecting disparate sections of the survey. The mapping of Alkali Cr and Buggy Cr alongside these routes offers a clear view of the intersection between the region's hydrology and its infrastructure in the early 21st century.
