2017 Map of Bateman Coulee

About this map

Piney Buttes rise above a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages in this Garfield County region of Montana. The drainage system is particularly dense, with Camp Cr and Redbank Coulee carving the northern landscape, while Maban Coulee and Bateman Coulee mark the central and southern reaches. This modern survey illustrates the persistent isolation of the area, where infrastructure is limited to rural routes like Haxby Rd and 17015 Rd. The land is meticulously partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, shown here across four townships including t20n r39e and t19n r40e. The map documents the way water has shaped the terrain, from the winding path of Second Cr to the reaches of Wolf Cr and Little Wolf Cr, providing a detailed view of the natural topography in this sparsely settled cattle country.
