2024 Map of Wagner

About this map

The tiny settlement of Wagner sits at the northern edge of this Phillips County landscape, situated where the high plains meet the irrigation-fed valley of the Milk River. This area is defined by the complex water management systems of the Dodson North Canal and Dodson South Canal, which trace the contours of the land to support agriculture in a semi-arid region. The township boundaries of t30n r28e and t29n r28e organize a territory marked by significant elevation changes, moving from the river bottom north of Hwy 363 to the higher, coulee-cut terrain to the south. Local transit and cattle movement follow established tracks like Kid Curry Rd and Alkali Cr Rd, reflecting the ranching and irrigation history that has shaped this part of Montana for over a century.
