2014 Map of Fourteenmile Coulee SE

About this map

Hill Co Chouteau Co boundary lines intersect this high plains landscape, where the vast drainage patterns of north-central Montana are clearly defined. The terrain is dominated by the broad expanse of the Lonesome Prairie, a characteristic feature of this region's geography. Water follows the natural contours of the land through deeply etched channels including Fourteenmile Coulee, Twelvemile Coulee, and Sixmile Coulee, which serve as the primary topographic markers in an otherwise open environment. A sparse but geometric road network, including Gardiner Rd N and Edwards Rd, provides access across the sections of T30N and T29N. This 2014 survey documents the enduring rural character of the borderlands between Hill and Chouteau counties, illustrating the relationship between the flat prairie lands and the coulees that break the horizon.
