2011 Map of Cohagen

About this map

Cohagen serves as the primary settlement hub in this part of Garfield County, defined by its Cohagen Post Office and nearby Cohagen Cemetery. The landscape is a network of seasonal drainages and ranching improvements, where water management is critical to the local economy. This is evidenced by numerous livestock-oriented structures such as the Pluhar Number 1 Dam, Pluhar Number 2 Dam, and Petitt Dam. Physical landmarks like Phillips Buttes rise above the drainage basins of Little Dry Creek and Red Horse Creek. The presence of the Smith Ranch and its associated Smith Ranch 6 Dam illustrates the enduring cattle-ranching heritage of the Montana plains. Transportation across the area relies on established routes like Hay Creek Rd and East Little Dry Rd, connecting isolated ranchsteads with the central post office.
