1983 Map of Cemetery Coulee

About this map

Cemetery Coulee cuts a distinct path through this section of McCone County, Montana, as it was recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the drainage networks of seasonal waterways, including the winding course of Soda Creek in the north and the expansive reach of Skull Creek in the south. This provisional study captures the area's intricate topography through detailed contour mapping, reflecting the complex erosion patterns typical of this high plains region. The absence of major settlements emphasizes the rural, ranch-oriented character of the territory, where terrain features like these coulees and creeks serve as the primary landmarks for navigating the open country.
