2017 Map of Elm Coulee

About this map

Mona Cem stands as a quiet focal point in this section of Richland County, surrounded by the undulating terrain of the northern Great Plains. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems, most notably Elm Coulee and Hay Coulee, which shape the local topography. This 2017 survey reflects a pastoral region where the network of county roads, including Co RD 143 and Co RD 139, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, tracing the township boundaries of t26n r54e and t25n r55e. Watercourses like E Charlie Cr, Shack Cr, and Middle Charlie Cr provide the primary geographical markers in an area defined by wide-open ranching or agricultural tracts. The map details the transition from high coulees to creek bottoms, offering a clear view of the rural infrastructure in this portion of Montana.
