About this map

Flowing Well is the central landmark of this Eastern Montana landscape, situated at the border of McCone and Garfield Counties. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Crooked Cr, Timber Cr, and Skull Cr, which carve through the high plains. The map illustrates the characteristic coulee topography of the region, specifically Patterson Coulee and Steves Coulee, where seasonal water runoff has etched deep into the prairie.

Transportation in this area is sparse, primarily consisting of unpaved routes like S Flowing Wells Rd and Skull Creek Rd that follow the natural contours of the drainage basins. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a clear view of the complex water management and natural landforms in a region defined by ranching and resource extraction, tracing names like Coal Cr and Soda Cr across the rugged breaks.
