2014 Map of Fowler Coulee NW

About this map

Fowler Coulee and Gibbons Coulee carve through this high Montana prairie landscape along the Pondera Co Toole Co border. The map illustrates a meticulously gridded agricultural region defined by expansive townships and the drainage patterns of numerous small coulees, including Bird Coulee and Favot Coulee. Infrastructure is primarily limited to a network of rural roads that follow section lines, such as Moulton School Rd and Sollid Rd, which provide access to scattered farmsteads and ranches. In the northeast corner, the M Ratzburg Reservoir represents a vital water management feature for the semi-arid environment. The presence of named drainages like Wilcox Coulee and Freebury Coulee suggests a landscape where even seasonal water flow has historically dictated land use and property boundaries.
