2011 Map of Emily Coulee

About this map

Emily Coulee occupies a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems in McCone County. This 2011 survey reveals a sparse ranching and agricultural environment where water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by structures such as Westgard Dam and Martin Number 1 Dam. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous waterways, including the meandering paths of Big Mud Creek, Little Mud Creek, and Crow Creek, which converge and diverge across the prairie. For those researching local history, the Prairie Elk Cemetery serves as a significant landmark of early community life, situated south of the junction of several creek branches. The transportation network is minimal, with Highland Rd providing one of the few primary arteries through the drainage basins of Prairie Elk Creek and Box Elder Creek.
