1969 Map of Fourteenmile Coulee SE

About this map

The county line between Hill Co and Chouteau Co bisects this northern Montana landscape, revealing a high-plains terrain defined by drainage patterns and seasonal watercourses. The 1969 field check documents an agricultural and industrial footprint where Storage Bins and scattered Gravel Pits suggest a localized economy of grain storage and road material extraction. The topography is deeply etched by a series of significant coulees, most notably Fourteenmile Coulee, which snakes across the central portion of the sheet. Further south, the map traces the paths of Sixmile Coulee and Twelvemile Coulee. These features represent the critical drainage infrastructure of the region, where the land rises toward benches between the water-carved depressions. The mapping detail focuses on these natural contours and the utilitarian structures required for prairie life during the late 1960s.
