About this map

Midale serves as a focal point in this Phillips County landscape, situated near the winding course of Beaver Creek. The area is defined by a series of drainage systems and coulees, including Sevenmile Coulee, Olson Coulee, and Hemming Coulee, which illustrate the complex local hydrology of the Montana plains. Water management is a primary feature of the region, evidenced by numerous named earthen structures such as the Veseth Reservoir Dam and the distinctively named Alley Oop Dam.

Agricultural and ranching heritage is anchored by the Veseth Ranch in the north, while the presence of Veseth Flat and the Veseth Reservoir suggests a long-standing family connection to the land. Remote reaches of the map show smaller-scale water features like the Rocky Mountain Beaver Colony Dam and Tree Bark Number 1 Dam, highlighting how even minor waterways like Little Warm Creek and Bad Land Creek have been utilized for local water storage and livestock.
