2011 Map of Fivemile Coulee East

About this map

Willow Creek and its many tributaries carve a network of drainages across this Toole County landscape, where the naming of Fivemile Coulee, Greens Coulee, and Twomile Coulee reflects the early surveying and ranching history of the Montana plains. The presence of the Old Berthelote Ranch in the northeast corner serves as a tangible link to the region's agricultural roots. Human activity is further defined by water management and a grid of rural roads, including Suphellen Rd and Sundby Rd, which provide access to remote acreage. Small-scale infrastructure like Hyades Dam on Willow Creek illustrates the vital role of water capture in this arid environment, while other seasonal waterways like Simmons Creek and Spring Creek further define the local topography.
