2017 Map of Alkali Coulee

About this map

Medicine Lake anchors the southeastern corner of this Sheridan County landscape, where the town grid meets the winding course of Big Muddy Creek. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages, including Alkali Coulee, Mine Coulee, and Sheep Camp Coulee, which cut through the high plains toward the creek basin. This 2017 survey illustrates the intersection of water management and rural transit, featuring the Diversion Ditch Number One alongside a network of section-line roads and named routes like Burma Trl and Whiskey Rd. The map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, with townships t33n r55e and t32n r55e capturing the agricultural character of the region. Local historians can trace the paths of Otter Cr and Wolf Cr as they navigate the subtle elevations of the Montana prairie.
