2024 Map of Apple School

About this map

Dry Fork Coulee and its tributaries carve a distinctive drainage pattern across this Chouteau County landscape. The road network, including Apple School Rd and Buck Bridge Rd, suggests a historical land use tied to rural education and local crossings. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosional features like Chimney Rock Coulee and Frank Gilbert Coulee, which highlight the natural movement of water through this high plains region. Named routes such as Dutch Ed Rd and Jackson Rd offer clues to the early families and surveyors who settled the townships of T25N and T26N. This study provides a contemporary look at the enduring geographic markers and property lines of the Montana interior.
