2014 Map of Big Dry School

About this map

Big Dry School stands as a central landmark in this expansive Garfield County landscape, located at the junction of MT-200 and Dutton Ln. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, most notably Big Dry Cr, which is fed by numerous named coulees that reveal the area's intricate topography. Named features like Long Coulee, Graham Coulee, and Harston Coulee segment the high plains, illustrating the water-carved geography of eastern Montana. Local transport follows a network of established routes including Steves Fork Rd and Guesanburg Rd, which trace the contours of the land between the township and range boundaries of t17n r35e and t16n r36e. This 2014 survey documents a region where ranching and rural education infrastructure remain tied to the natural drainages of the Missouri River watershed.
