2011 Map of Wagner

About this map

Wagner serves as a central point of reference in this Phillips County landscape, situated near the meandering path of the Milk River. The area’s water management and infrastructure are central themes, evidenced by the extensive Dodson South Canal and a series of uniquely named water control structures. These include the Gilda Radner Dam, Buckin' Horse Dam, and Meeting Place Dam, reflecting a landscape heavily modified for irrigation or livestock. Transport across the river is facilitated by the Milk River Bridge, while the surrounding terrain is navigated by S Wagner RD and Rte 363. The presence of MRLCA Number 1 Dam and Halfway Dam further illustrates the significance of water collection in this part of Montana, where the interplay between natural river bends and man-made canals dictates the local geography.
