2011 Map of Coyote Coulee

About this map

Schnitzler Ranch sits in the northern reaches of this Roosevelt County landscape, where the high plains are carved by intermittent watercourses and traditional land holdings. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by the winding paths of Smoke Creek and Spring Creek, which traverse the terrain toward the south and east. A significant point of water management on the reservation is the Fort Peck Reservation Number 23 Dam, located centrally along one of the many draws. The map illustrates a transition between open grazing land and the distinct geographical depressions of Coyote Coulee and South Branch Coulee. Further south, the course of Lake Creek meanders through the lower sections of the quadrangle, while Fas 344 provides a primary transportation corridor through this corner of the Brockton District.
