2020 Map of Day School SW

About this map

The Marias River carves a deep, winding path through the northern plains of Chouteau County, creating a complex network of breaks and drainage systems. This 2020 survey documents the stark geography of the Big Sky Country, where the river's course is defined by steep-walled incisions such as Sheep Coulee and Lone Tree Coulee. To the southwest, the terrain is marked by Chip Cr and the descriptively named Slide Out Coulee. Outside of the river valley's breaks, the land transitions to the high plateau typical of the region, sparsely threaded by local routes like Stevens Rd. The map illustrates a landscape where natural drainage and the meandering river remain the primary geographic features, providing a contemporary view of this rural Montana territory.
