2024 Map of Weigand Reservoir

About this map

Peoples Creek meanders deeply through the center of this northern Montana landscape, its winding course defining the geography of the border between Blaine and Phillips Counties. The terrain is marked by a series of significant drainage features including Box Elder Coulee, Kuhr Coulee, and Willow Coulee, which cut through the high plains toward the central creek bed. This modern mapping reflects a sparsely settled ranching or conservation area where water is the primary landmark, anchored by Weigand Reservoir in the south and the seasonal Old Woman Lake to the northwest. The intersection of Lodgepole Hwy and Rte 8 provides the primary transit through these townships, while Wiegand Rd offers access to the reservoir. The map preserves the specific cattle-country nomenclature of the region, emphasizing the importance of natural water catchments and coulees in this arid environment.
