1948 Map of Alkali Coulee

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Big Muddy Creek meanders through the heart of this Sheridan County landscape, where the prairie of northeast Montana meets a managed water system designed for the Missouri River Basin. The territory is split between the Fort Peck Indian Reservation and the Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge, reflecting the complex land management of the post-war era. Rural life is anchored by the Rose Valley Sch, while the presence of a Coal Mine and several Gravel Pits points to the area's local resource extraction. Extensive water engineering is evident along the southern edge of the survey, where Diversion Ditch No 1 and various Tanks support both the wildlife refuge and the settlement of Medicine Lake. Numerous coulees, including Alkali Coulee and Sheep Coulee, define the drainage patterns feeding into the larger creek systems.
