About this map

The Teton River carves a winding path through the southern reaches of this Chouteau County landscape, defined by a series of dramatic coulees that drain the high prairie. In the northern sections, Dugout Coulee and the branching systems of Dry Fork Coulee and West Dry Fork Coulee illustrate the complex erosional patterns of the Montana plains. The rectilinear grid of early 21st-century rural transit is evidenced by roads such as Beaverslide Rd and Apple School Rd, which follow section lines established by the Public Land Survey System. These routes, including Buck Bridge Rd and Collins Rd, provide access across the high benches between the river valley and the deep-cut ravines, marking a landscape dedicated to large-scale ranching and dryland agriculture near the intersection of several township boundaries.
