2020 Map of Boston Coulee School

About this map

The Boston Coulee School serves as a central landmark in this portion of Cascade County, where the high plains are deeply incised by the winding course of the Smith River. This 2020 survey reveals a landscape defined by its drainage patterns, with numerous named coulees—steep-walled valleys or drainage-ways—branching out from the river valley. Notable geographic features include Boston Coulee, Murphy Coulee, and Splain Coulee in the north, while Rocky Coulee and Chicken Coulee dominate the central terrain. The road network, including Boston Coulee Rd and several branches of Eden Rd, follows the higher ground between these drainages, illustrating the historical and modern challenge of traversing this dissected Montana topography. The map detail reflects a contemporary look at rural land divisions and the enduring placement of local educational sites amidst the open range.
