2011 Map of Fowler Coulee SE

About this map

Rocky Coulee carves through this high plains landscape in Pondera County, Montana, illustrating the drainage patterns of the northern Great Plains. This 2011 survey reveals a highly structured agricultural grid, where long-established section lines are traced by a network of rural routes including Kathan Rd, Substation Rd, and Preputin Rd. The map documents water management in this arid region, most notably at the Banka Dama Dam, which serves as a vital anchor point for local ranching or irrigation needs. The presence of several family-named roads like Johnson Rd and Bitz provides valuable clues for genealogists tracking local land ownership and the evolution of homesteaded parcels into the 21st century. The landscape remains largely open, defined by the intersection of coulee topography and the precision of the Public Land Survey System.
