About this map

Antelope Coulee defines the drainage patterns of this Toole County landscape, where the high plains of northern Montana are etched by seasonal waterways and local water management. The area is characterized by a network of ranch roads and small-scale hydraulic improvements, including the Cloakus Dam and the Crooked Man Dam along the northern reaches. These structures, alongside the West Fork Willow Creek, provide a record of how water has been harnessed in this semi-arid environment.

Settlement patterns remain sparse, anchored by the Bennett Ranch and the Hellinger Landing Strip in the central-east. The terrain is marked by deep coulees such as Dunkirk Coulee and Crooked Coulee, which illustrate the natural erosive forces at work. The map reveals the functional layout of the land through its named road system, including Jap Evans Rd and Gumboe Joe Rd, which link the isolated ranching operations across the prairie.
