2011 Map of Clanton Coulee

About this map

Strater and its Strater Post Office anchor the northwestern corner of this Phillips County landscape, situated where the high plains meet a complex system of drainage and waterfowl habitat. The northern border is defined by the significant waters of Lake Bowdoin and Goose Island Pond, providing a stark contrast to the intricate network of coulees that carve through the southern terrain. This map reveals a land shaped by intermittent water and sparse settlement, where named features like Clanton Coulee and LeNoir Coulee dictate the local geography. Small-scale water management is evident at the LeNoir Reservoir, while local transit relies on a modest grid of thoroughfares including Bowdoin Rd and Harbor Rd, reflecting the quiet ranching and agricultural character of this Montana region in the early 21st century.
