2014 Map of Ball Coulee

About this map

The Blaine and Phillips County line bisects this high-plains landscape, where the geography is defined by deep drainage systems and family legacies. Settlement patterns are evidenced by several rural burial sites, including the Messerly Cem, Kirkaldie Cem, Chopwood Cem, and Big Warm Cem, all situated near the network of roads that navigate the coulees. To the south, the Judith River Ridge rises above the basin of Big Warm Cr, while the northern reaches are marked by the winding paths of Wild Horse Cr and Lone Tree Coulee. This 2014 survey shows a region of managed water resources like the Government Field Reservoir and a transportation network anchored by the Lodge Pole Rd, reflecting the ranching and tribal lands of north-central Montana.
