About this map

Sage Creek meanders through this section of the northern Montana plains, carving a distinct drainage pattern across the high prairie. The landscape is defined by its coulees, with Faulkners Coulee in the northwest and Halfway Coulee in the southwest serving as prominent topographical landmarks. This map details the Public Land Survey System grid across Hill County, showing the intersection of several townships including t31n r12e and t32n r11e. The sparsely populated terrain is navigated by a limited road network, most notably Rd 120 S in the southeastern corner. The contour lines reveal the subtle but significant elevation changes characteristic of this region's watershed, where drainage features like these coulees are essential for understanding historical land use and early ranching boundaries.
