2020 Map of Coal Mine Creek West

About this map

Coal Mine Cr and its tributaries carve a network of drainages across this northern Montana landscape, located along the international boundary with the United States of America. The area is defined by its massive section-line grid system, including portions of t37n r38e, t37n r39e, t36n r38e, and t36n r39e. These divisions reflect the systematic land surveys that shaped the homesteading era of the high plains. Local transit is concentrated along Theony Rd, which provides the primary access through this sparsely populated ranching country. Other watercourses like Morgan Cr and the N Fork S Cr mark the intermittent nature of the region's hydrology, where water is a critical resource for the few established operations in this remote part of Valley County.
