2014 Map of Benzien

About this map

Benzien sits at the intersection of a complex drainage system in this Garfield County landscape, where the Middle Fork Lodgepole Cr and N Fork Lodgepole Cr converge near the Sand Springs Rd. The terrain is defined by a series of significant coulees that carve through the high ground, including the curiously named Seventynine Coulee, Dead Horse Coulee, and Battle Coulee. These deep natural ravines and the prominent Blue Ridge suggest a landscape shaped by intermittent water action and erosion typical of the Montana plains. To the north, the headwaters of Little Nancy Russell Cr and the winding path of Curry Coulee further illustrate the intricate topography of the region as documented in the early 21st century.
