About this map

Antelope Flat and the surrounding high plains of Chouteau County are defined by a network of drainage coulees and agricultural road systems. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape of dry-land farming and ranching, where seasonal water features like Alkali Coulee and Wolf Coulee carve through the terrain. The presence of Antelope Lake on the eastern edge of the flat provides a focal point for the local geography, while the expansive Leepers Flat dominates the central portion of the quadrangle.

Insight into the region's rural development is visible through named transportation routes that reflect local history and land use, such as Davis School Rd and Shaner Farm Rd. The grid of the Public Land Survey System is intersected by more idiosyncratic paths like Promised Land Rd and Sodbuster Rd, suggesting the enduring legacy of early settlers and the agricultural character of this Montana plateau.
