About this map

Davis Spring serves as a focal point in this Petroleum County landscape, where the terrain is heavily defined by a system of drainage coulees and ridges. The network of seasonal watercourses includes the prominent Swanson Coulee in the south and the long stretches of Fisher Coulee and Davis Coulee further north. These features illustrate the erosion patterns of the Montana plains, punctuated by high ground like Dunn Ridge.

Evidence of human movement through this sparsely populated ranching country is visible along Weingart Ln and the route marked as 79 Trl. While the land is largely shaped by nature, names like West School Section Coulee hint at the historical division of land for public education. Streams such as Dovetail Cr and Blood Cr wind through the township and range lines, showing the intersection of original land surveys with the natural topography.
