2011 Map of Coleman Coulee

About this map

Coleman Coulee characterizes this remote reach of Garfield County, Montana, where a network of ephemeral drainages and coulees carve through the high plains landscape. This 2011 survey reveals a territory where water management is critical for land use, evidenced by a series of small-scale reservoirs and embankments. To the north, the Taylor Number 2 Dam sits near Uall Creek, while further south, the Glasscock Reservoir Number 1 Dam and Glasscock Reservoir Number 2 Dam highlight the specific ranching or irrigation infrastructure of the region. The map also documents the rugged path of Eckman Coulee and the crossing of Uall Rd, which serves as one of the few named transportation arteries in this expansive, sparsely populated section of the Montana interior.
