2017 Map of Fourteenmile Coulee NE

About this map

Arid drainage patterns and township boundaries define this Hill County landscape, where the seasonal waterways of Fourteenmile Coulee and Faulkners Coulee carve through the high plains. The terrain is structured by the Public Land Survey System, showing sections across Townships 30, 31, and 32 North. Human activity is focused along few access points like Co Rd 605 and Rd 605, which cut east-west across the northern tiers. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the stark, open character of North-Central Montana, where the land's utility is tied to its subtle topography and the drainage of features like Halfway Coulee toward the Missouri River basin. It remains a largely open expanse of rangeland and dryland agriculture, marked by these named coulees that have served as landmarks for generations of ranchers.
