MLRA 52 - Brown Glaciated Plain Montana 52,110 km2 (20,120 mi2)

Water:
Most of the area depends on precipitation for water for both range and crops. The Milk River provides irrigation water to its flood plains and immediate adjacent land. On the uplands, water for livestock is stored in small reservoirs. The glacial drift yields a moderate amount of ground water that is hard but otherwise of good quality.
