About this map

Rudolph Valley and the surrounding high plains of Phillips County define this arid landscape, where water management is the primary driver of development. The land is marked by a network of drainage features like Threemile Coulee, Fourmile Coulee, and the larger Halfway Coulee system. These natural coulees are interspersed with man-made water storage, including the W Alkali Reservoir and the uniquely designated Reservoir Number One Hundred Sixty-one.

Transportation is dominated by the diagonal corridor of Us-191, which provides the main artery through this sparsely populated territory. The Public Land Survey System grid is prominently overlaid across the terrain, with local routes like Rudolph Valley Rd and S Alkali Creek Rd following these section lines. This arrangement reflects the region's ranching and livestock heritage, where specific coulees and named reservoirs such as Partnership Reservoir serve as critical landmarks for land navigation and resource distribution.
