2020 Map of Elm Coulee

About this map

Mona Cem stands as a quiet focal point in this remote section of Richland County, situated near the intersection of Co RD 143 and Co RD 326. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Missouri River watershed, where the namesake Elm Coulee and Hay Coulee carve through the high plains. Further north, Steppler Field sits near the headwaters of E Charlie Cr, illustrating the sparse but intentional land use in this ranching country. The map detail highlights the intricate network of section lines and county roads, such as Co RD 139 and Co RD 137, which provide the primary structure for movement across the rolling prairie. Natural watercourses like Middle Charlie Cr and Timber Cr dictate the local topography, creating the draws and ridges that have shaped land ownership and agricultural patterns for generations.
