2011 Map of Carter Coulee

About this map

The Missouri River carves a sweeping arc across this northern Fergus County landscape, defining a series of alluvial flats and ranching outposts. Named settlements and livestock operations such as Bell Bottoms, Doney Bottoms, and Mauland Bottoms occupy the fertile ground along the riverbanks, while the Roma White Ranch and Mauland Ranch indicate the region's agricultural footprint. Away from the water, the terrain ascends into a complex system of ridges and coulees, including Elevator Ridge and Haines Ridge, which are traversed by primitive routes like the Wilder Trl and Sand Creek Trl.
