2011 Map of Fourteenmile Coulee SE

About this map

Fourteenmile Coulee and Sixmile Coulee carve through this section of Hill County, Montana, defining a landscape of drainage patterns and dry washes. The area is characterized by large-scale agricultural or ranching plots, where the human footprint is primarily seen in the network of rural roads such as Gardiner Rd N and N Lonesome Lake Rd. Water management is critical in this high-plains environment, as evidenced by landmarks like the M Hass Dam. The map shows a precise grid of property lines and access routes including Edwards Rd and Black Coulee Rd E, reflecting the organized land management typical of the early 21st-century West. While largely devoid of dense settlements, the presence of these named coulees and local infrastructure like Hwy 366 highlights the enduring geographic importance of these drainage systems in the northern Montana landscape.
