About this map

Calamity Coulee and its neighboring drainages define this stretch of Garfield County, Montana, where the terrain is marked by a complex network of dry washes and intermittent streams. The landscape is characterized by its distinct coulee systems, such as Ogilvie Coulee and Todd Coulee, which cut through the high plains. These features reveal the intricate natural drainage patterns that have shaped the local geography over time.

Water management and natural flow are central to the area's layout, with Little Dry Creek and Thompson Creek serving as primary corridors through the township and range divisions. The presence of features like Skunk Arroyo and Witchie Coulee suggests a region defined by seasonal water movement, typical of the Montana plains. This map provides a clear view of the topographic relief and the specific named coulees that are essential for navigating and understanding this rural landscape.
