About this map

The Teton River meanders across this high plains landscape in Teton County, defining the agricultural and water management patterns of the region. In the northeast, the New Rockport Colony stands as a focal point of communal settlement, situated near the winding riverbanks and the drainage of Spring Coulee. The terrain is characterized by several geographic depressions including Gamble Coulee and Coyote Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff toward the primary river system. To the southwest, the prominent elevation of Priest Butte overlooks the waters of Priest Butte Lake. Human intervention in the landscape is evident through the Ferris Farms Dam and a geometric grid of rural roads such as 18th Rd NW and Rte-221. The presence of Hobson Spur indicates the area's historical reliance on transportation infrastructure to move agricultural goods from these remote northern Montana fields.
