About this map

Eden sits in the southeast corner of this Montana landscape, where the high plains of Cascade County meet deeply carved drainage systems. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosion, most notably at the Pettapiece Badland and the prominent Ming Coulee Ridge. These features illustrate the geological forces that have shaped the region south of the Missouri River, creating a complex network of coulees that dictated early travel and settlement patterns.

Rural life is marked by landmarks like the Red Butte Cemetery and family-named features such as Iverson Hill. A network of gravel and local roads, including Boston Coulee Rd and Eden Rd, connects isolated ranch lands. The drainage of Pardais Coulee and Ming Coulee carves through the plateau, providing essential data for those studying the intersection of Montana’s topography and its 21st-century agricultural land use.
