2017 Map of Yellow Water Reservoir

About this map

Yellow Water Reservoir serves as a primary water source in this section of Petroleum County, where the high plains landscape is defined by the drainage of Yellow Water Cr. The surrounding terrain features a network of coulees and ridges carved by Elk Cr and McDonald Cr, which flow through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey shows a land shaped by the Public Land Survey System, with the intersections of t14n r25e, t14n r26e, t13n r25e, and t13n r26e meeting near the central drainages. The Old Winnett Rd provides the primary transit route through this ranching country, tracing the upper elevations and offering a look at the modern rural infrastructure of central Montana.
