2014 Map of Big Coulee

About this map

Big Coulee defines the drainage patterns of this Blaine County landscape, where the high plains are carved by seasonal waterways and winding secondary roads. This 2014 topographic survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of the Montana interior, where remote routes like New Hope Rd and Camp Seven Rd navigate around the deep depressions of Little Box Elder Coulee. The map provides a precise record of the land-grid divisions across the Agency District, highlighting the intersection of local water systems like Snake Cr and Threemile Cr with the Reservation Loop. The terrain is characterized by these broad coulees, which serve as the primary geographical markers in a region where settlement is sparse and the economy is tied to the open range and local cattle operations.
