About this map

Larb Cr carves a winding path through this corner of Valley County, defining a landscape of complex drainage systems and high points. The terrain is marked by numerous named ravines, including Coon Coulee and Home Coulee in the north, which channel runoff toward the primary creek bed. The map reveals a remote ranching or agricultural environment where infrastructure is limited to primitive routes like Gerbacher Rd and Larb Creek Rd.

Significant landmarks such as Dead Mans Hill provide vertical relief among the intricate network of coulees, which include Bog Coulee and the uniquely named Coal Bank Coulee. These features suggest a historical reliance on specific geographical markers for navigation and land management. The drainage patterns of Flat Coulee and the South Fork Box Elder Coulee illustrate the erosional forces that have shaped this portion of the Montana plains.
