2024 Map of Elm Coulee

About this map

Mona Cem stands as a quiet landmark in this corner of Richland County, a small cemetery located along Co RD 143 that serves as a focal point for local genealogy and history. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, notably where Elm Coulee and Hay Coulee carve through the terrain, joined by the various branches of Charlie Creek. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and county roads, such as RD 324 and Co RD 326, which facilitate movement through this cattle and wheat country. Notable landmarks like Steppler Field highlight the agricultural heritage of the region, while the paths of Shack Creek and Timber Creek illustrate how water resources have long dictated the placement of ranching and farming operations in these Montana highlands.
