1986 Map of Antelope Coulee NW

About this map

The Principal Meridian bisects this high-plains landscape in Toole County, anchoring a terrain defined by deep erosional drainage patterns. The map showcases the intricate winding paths of Antelope Coulee, Fifteenmile Coulee, and Black Coulee as they cut through the dry northern Montana benchland. This 1980s provisional survey highlights the region's agricultural infrastructure, marking the locations of Grain Bins and a facility named Pioneer near the western edge. Settlement is sparse, represented by isolated structures and a small Cem located on the high ground between the drainage basins. The survey provides an exacting look at the section lines and township boundaries that partitioned the Montana Territory, showing how the land was organized for dryland farming and ranching north of Shelby.
