2020 Map of Fivemile Coulee East

About this map

Sweet Grass Hills rise in the northeastern corner of this Toole County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage channels. The map illustrates a high plains environment dominated by seasonal watercourses like Willow Creek and Powers Creek which have carved significant features into the earth. These named coulees—including Fivemile Coulee, Greens Coulee, and Twomile Coulee—suggest a history of land navigation and livestock grazing in a region where water and relief dictate the placement of local roads.
