2020 Map of Dead Horse Coulee

About this map

Dead Horse Coulee and several other significant drainage channels define the dry-land topography of this Phillips County landscape. The area is characterized by an intricate network of coulees that feed into Frenchman Creek and Cottonwood Cr, illustrating the erosional patterns of the Montana plains. Human presence is concentrated along a few corridors, notably Turkey Track Rd, which provides access through the western half of the map. For genealogists and local historians, the Reitan Cem situated near the head of Porcupine Coulee represents a vital physical record of early settlement and families in this section of the state. The map also records several other named landforms, including Bohner Coulee, Peck Coulee, and Corral Coulee, which serve as key landmarks for navigating this expansive terrain before it transitions into E Fork Stinky Cr.
