About this map

Nez Perce National Historical Park extends into the southern reaches of this Blaine County landscape, marking a site of significant cultural and historical weight. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic coulees, including Lonetree Coulee, Sixmile Coulee, and Willman Coulee, which channel the drainage of the northern plains toward seasonal waterways. Evidence of the region's energy economy is clear at the Bowes Oil Field in the northwest, where Oil Field Loop and Citation Ln service local operations. This 2014 survey captures a sparsely populated but active ranching and resource-rich area, where the winding courses of Snake Cr and Bean Cr cut through the high prairie, illustrating the complex relationship between the natural topography and the human efforts to navigate and utilize this expansive Montana environment.
