About this map

Chapman sits in the northeast corner of this Phillips County landscape, a region defined by the intricate drainages of the northern plains. The terrain is dominated by the meandering course of Woody Island Cr and the wider Woody Island Coulee, which cut through the higher benches of t36n r27e and t35n r27e. These natural depressions serve as the primary geographical markers in a landscape otherwise organized by the rectangular grid of the Public Land Survey System.

Transportation through this part of north-central Montana is facilitated by several named routes, including Turner Cutacross Rd and the long north-south stretch of Black Coulee Rd. Notable topographical features like Horseshoe Coulee further illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of this part of the state, where seasonal water flow has carved distinct valleys into the surrounding plains. The 2017 survey provides a detailed look at the interface between these natural coulees and the rural road network that connects the scattered points of settlement.
