1983 Map of Dowse Coulee

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Redwater River winds through this section of McCone County, Montana, defining a landscape shaped by narrow drainages and expansive plateaus. This 1983 provisional survey highlights the intricate network of coulees that feed into the river system, including the namesake Dowse Coulee and the nearby Alkali Coulee. These geographical features were essential markers for early settlers and ranchers navigating the high plains. The presence of Waters Reservoir and the winding course of Sheep Creek underscore the importance of water management in this arid northern environment. The map captures the area just as modern surveying techniques were being finalized, providing a clear view of the rural sections and terrain before significant later developments. Researchers will find a preserved look at the township and range lines as they intersect with natural landmarks like Waters Coulee and Davis Coulee.
