2024 Map of Carda Coulee

About this map

Carda Coulee carves through this portion of Richland County, defining a landscape of complex drainage systems and isolated high points. The map documents a contemporary network of county roads, including Co RD 319 and Co RD 321, which navigate the various forks and coulees typical of this Montana region. Latka Reservoir serves as a central water feature, catching runoff between the divides of North Fork East Redwater Creek and other seasonal drainages. Notable topographic landmarks such as Flag Butte rise above the surrounding terrain, providing clear orientation points in a territory where water management and ranch access are dictated by the underlying coulee structure. The presence of multiple forks, including East Fork Fox Creek and Middle Fork Fox Creek, illustrates the intricate headwater patterns that feed into the larger regional basins.
