2011 Map of Dead Indian Spring

About this map

Dead Indian Spring and Coyote Springs serve as primary water sources in this northern Montana landscape, where the topography is defined by the drainage patterns of numerous coulees. The 2011 survey reveals a vast, sparsely settled territory in Glacier County, where transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like Chalk Butte Rd and Dudley Rd. The hydrography is dominated by the East Fork Big Rock Coulee and Big Rock Coulee, while the presence of Dripping Hole Spring suggests localized points of reliable moisture in an otherwise arid environment. This map illustrates the intersection of natural water features and the established rural road network that facilitates movement across the region's wide-open spaces.
