2011 Map of Big Coulee

About this map

Snake Creek and Box Elder Creek converge in this high plains landscape of Blaine County, where water management is central to the local geography. The map documents several small-scale water control structures, including Brinkman Dam, Willow Dam, and Hansen Dam, which likely support the agricultural needs of the Agency District. The terrain is defined by the namesake Big Coulee, a significant drainage feature that cuts through the territory. The rural road network is sparse but functional, centered around Kline Rd and the Reservation Rd, the latter of which connects with the Reservation Loop. This survey provides a clear view of the water-reliant infrastructure and land-use patterns within the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation area during the early 21st century.
