2017 Map of Dutch Henry Coulee

About this map

The Marias River carves a winding path through the northern plains of Montana, defining the local topography as it flows toward the eastern edge of this region. This landscape is characterized by the deep, dendritic drainage patterns of Dutch Henry Coulee and Fourmile Coulee, which cut through the high plateau south of the Hill County and Chouteau County line. The geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, including Township 28 North, Range 8 East, contrasts with the organic curves of the river valley. Local travel is facilitated by a network of rural routes such as Goosebill Rd and Teara Firma Rd, which navigate the level benches between the coulees. This map provides a look at the modern rural infrastructure and land management in a sparsely populated section of the Treasure State.
