About this map

Fortyfour Coulee and the surrounding drainage systems of McCone County define this high plains landscape as documented in 2017. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant coulees including Bigney Coulee, Morris Coulee, and Badgley Coulee, which channel water toward creeks like Timber Cr and Ten Deer Cr. Small-scale agricultural and ranching infrastructure is evident through features such as Leaky Reservoir and local transport routes like Orpha Dann Rd.

Rising above the dissected topography, Cobb Hill serves as a prominent local landmark. The survey also captures several seasonal or intermittent watercourses, such as Shed Cr and Good Cr, which illustrate the arid nature of this region. The absence of major settlements highlights the rural character of this portion of eastern Montana, where the land is primarily divided into sections for ranching or dryland management.
