About this map

Blythe sits at the center of this 2020 landscape, where the high plains of central Montana are deeply incised by a complex network of coulees. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage patterns, notably where Big Otter Cr winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by secondary features like Never Sweat Coulee and Swan Coulee. The topography here reflects the characteristic erosion of the region, creating a series of ridges and draws that historically dictated the routes of travel and settlement.

Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with Cora Creek Rd and Willow Creek Rd traversing the northern elevations. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Cascade County and Judith Basin County, a line that cuts through the eastern sections. For those interested in the physical geography of the area, the concentration of named coulees—including Armington Coulee, Marion Coulee, and Brigman Coulee—provides a clear look at the intricate watershed that feeds into the larger regional creek systems.
