About this map

Midale serves as the focal point for this section of Phillips County, where the high plains are deeply etched by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems. The landscape is defined by its coulees, such as Sevenmile Coulee and Parrott Coulee, which channel runoff toward more permanent water features like the Veseth Reservoir and the winding course of Beaver Creek. These geographical depressions suggest a terrain where water management is vital to the local ranching or agricultural economy, as evidenced by the namesake reservoir.

Local transportation is facilitated by rural routes including Veseth Road, Fred Eman Road, and Cummings Road, which trace the section lines across the Montana landscape. Small tributaries such as Little Warm Creek and the aptly named Bad Land Creek further illustrate the erosive forces that have shaped this region. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, from T26N R27E to T25N R28E, offering essential spatial context for land ownership research.
