1965 Map of Cohagen

About this map

Cohagen sits at the western edge of this Garfield County landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding cattle country and dryland farming operations in the mid-1960s. The settlement pattern is defined by the network of seasonal watercourses and coulees, with White Horse Creek and Todd Coulee carving through the terrain near the Phillips Buttes. Local history is anchored at the Cohagen Cem, while the presence of a Landing Strip and numerous wells indicates the era's reliance on air travel and groundwater management in this expansive portion of Montana. The map also traces intricate drainage systems like Graveyard Creek and Little Dry Cr, which together illustrate the complex hydrography of the region before modern developments altered these traditional rural routes.
