2014 Map of Ethels Coulee

About this map

Winnecook sits at the confluence of several significant waterways in the central Montana landscape, where the Musselshell River meets the American Fork. This 2014 survey captures a rural territory defined by its hydrologic network and the passage of Us-12, which follows the river valley through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The land is marked by distinct drainage features such as Alkali Cr to the north and Timber Cr to the south, illustrating the erosion patterns that have shaped this prairie environment. The eponymous Ethels Coulee cuts through the central sections, serving as a landmark in a region characterized by township and range divisions. Local transport is represented by the Tierney Loop, which provides access to the land north of the river, reflecting the enduring cattle-ranching and agricultural heritage of Wheatland County.
