2020 Map of Big Coulee

About this map

Big Coulee and Little Box Elder-Coulee characterize this northern Montana landscape, where the drainage patterns of Snake Cr and Box Elder Cr shape the terrain. The map reveals a sparse network of roads typical of the Agency District, primarily serving ranching and reservation access. Key routes like the Reservation Loop and Painted Hills Rd provide the primary infrastructure through these sections of Blaine County. This modern survey demonstrates the persistence of historical land division, with township and range boundaries such as t32n r21e and t31n r22e defining the spatial organization of the territory. Small seasonal watercourses, including Threemile Cr, underscore the arid, high-plains geography where water sources dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like New Hope Rd and Funk Rd.
