2017 Map of Flat Bottom Coulee SE

About this map

Flat Bottom Coulee defines the drainage patterns of this Rosebud County landscape, where water management is central to the land's utility. The presence of Absolen Reservoir in the eastern portion of the survey highlights the necessity of water storage for ranching and agricultural operations in this semi-arid region. The map documents an intricate network of intermittent waterways, including Stellar Cr and Lining Ash Cr, which flow through the sections of t9n r39e and t10n r39e. These creek beds and coulees dictate the placement of local roads and boundaries, reflecting a rural Montana terrain shaped by both natural hydrology and the Public Land Survey System. Further water features such as Rattlesnake Cr and N Prong Hay Cr offer specific landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing land patents and family holdings in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
