1969 Map of Fourteenmile Coulee NW

About this map

The East Fork Black Coulee carves through this northern Montana landscape, revealing a section of the Missouri River Basin development area during the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Faulkners Coulee and a distinctive landform simply labeled Box. This map reflects the mid-century agricultural and infrastructure layout of Hill County, characterized by a grid of section lines and range boundaries like R. 9 E. R. 10 E. A lone Landing Strip sits in the southern portion of the quadrangle, suggesting the reliance on small-aircraft transportation for ranching or surveying in this expansive region. The absence of concentrated town centers highlights the rural, decentralized nature of the high plains at this time.
