About this map

Box Elder Creek and Snake Creek drain a landscape of deep coulees and open plains in this part of Blaine County. The land is defined by its topographic drainages, with notable features like Ninemile Coulee, Willman Coulee, and Canati Coulee carving into the terrain. The network of local roads, such as Zurich Road and New Hope Road, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, reflecting the organized ranching and agricultural divisions of the region. This 2017 survey reveals a quiet, sparsely populated area where the economy and geography are tied to the drainage basins of Little Box Elder Coulee and Black Hills Coulee. Genealogists and researchers can trace the movement of early settlers along these natural corridors, with place-names like Hanson Coulee and Olson Road Coulee suggesting long-standing family ties to the land.
