About this map

Pondera Coulee and its winding tributaries dominate this High Plains landscape, where the drainage patterns of Fowler Coulee and Favot Coulee carve through the open terrain. The map captures a section of the northern Montana plains during the mid-1960s, defined by the intersection of the Principal Meridian and the county boundary between Pondera and Toole counties.

Linear section-line roads like Sollid Road and Midway Road provide the primary human structure to this agricultural area. The presence of a Gravel Pit near the northern reaches of Favot Coulee suggests local resource extraction for road maintenance. To the south, South Pondera Coulee meanders through the landscape, illustrating the importance of natural watercourses in an area otherwise governed by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System.
