2024 Map of Fortyfour Coulee

About this map

Ten Deer Creek and its tributary East Ten Deer Creek dominate the central drainage of this McCone County landscape, illustrating a classic High Plains dendritic pattern. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees, including Ryan Coulee in the northwest and the winding Bigney Coulee, which cut through the high prairie toward larger creek beds. In the north, Leaky Reservoir serves as a rare point of collected water, while Cobb Hill provides a distinct topographic landmark amidst the surrounding draws. The road network remains sparse, centered on routes like Orpha Dann Rd and PR RD 24716, suggesting a remote ranching or grazing environment where natural water features like Good Creek, Bad Creek, and Crooked Creek dictate the movement across the land.
