2014 Map of Dead Indian Spring

About this map

Dead Indian Spring and Coyote Springs anchor this portion of the northern Montana plains, where the land is defined by water-carved coulees and essential spring sites. This landscape in Glacier County is patterned by township and range lines, with travel limited to a network of rural routes like Chalk Butte Rd and Dudley Rd. The topography is marked by significant drainages such as the East Fork Big Rock Coulee, which cuts through the northern sections, and the Little Rock Coulee in the south. The presence of Dripping Hole Spring highlights the critical role of specific water sources in this environment. This 2014 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and ranching layout of the region, where roads often follow section boundaries or skirt the edges of deeper coulees like Big Rock Coulee.
