About this map

The Missouri River cuts a wide, winding path across this portion of the Montana landscape, defining the border between Roosevelt and Richland counties. The terrain is characterized by a series of dramatic drainages and landforms, most notably Cedar Coulee, Star Coulee, and Coal Coulee, which give the region its distinct topographic texture. This 2014 survey illustrates how the land is partitioned through the Public Land Survey System, showing the township and range lines of t27n r57e and its neighbors.

Water management and natural hydrology are central to this area, evidenced by the Harmon Reservoir in the northeast and the course of Otis Cr in the south. Transportation is limited to rural routes such as Star Coulee Rd and Co Road 147, which navigate the high ground between the deep incisions of Rocky Point Coulee and Deep Coulee. The map provides a clear look at the sparsely populated ranching or agricultural country of the northern plains.
