About this map

Blythe sits as a primary point of reference in this central Montana landscape, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the Missouri River watershed. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees that carve through the landscape, feeding into Big Otter Cr and Cora Cr. These deep ravines, bearing distinctive local names like Never Sweat Coulee and Government Coulee, indicate a topography shaped by seasonal runoff and long-term erosion, creating a complex series of ridges and draws that dictate local travel and land use.

Transportation through the area follows these natural contours, with routes like Cora Creek Rd and Geyser Rd navigating the divides. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Cascade Co and Judith Basin Co, marking a transition between these two agricultural counties. From Armington Coulee in the north to Brigman Coulee in the south, the survey reveals a remote ranching environment where water sources and named landmarks are essential for navigation and property definition.
