2014 Map of Acorn Flats

About this map

Acorn Flats defines this portion of the Montana high plains, where the boundary between Garfield and Rosebud Counties crosses a landscape of seasonal drainages and sharp relief. The terrain is marked by deep incisions such as Devils Canyon, which cuts through the central plateau near Miller Ranch Rd. Water is a scarce but vital resource, indicated by the presence of Wilkes Spring and the winding paths of Acorn Cr and Little Porcupine Cr. The road network, including Cohagen Rd and Acorn Flats Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting isolated ranching sites across Germo Coulee and Hanson Coulee. This survey illustrates the spatial distribution of these named coulees and creeks, providing a clear picture of the area's geographic orientation in the early 21st century.
