2020 Map of Content

About this map

Content marks a point of activity in the high plains of Phillips County, where the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of coulees across the prairie. This survey details a drainage network focused on Beaver Cr and Flat Cr, which navigate the wide, level expanse of the Sun Prairie Flats. The map reveals a system of named geographical landmarks like Miller Coulee, Albert Coulee, and Trueblood Coulee, names that often reflect the early ranching and homesteading families who settled this part of Montana. The primary corridor through this open country is Content Rd, which follows the natural contours between the coulee breaks and the higher flats, providing a clear record of the rural infrastructure connecting these isolated settlements and water sources.
