1967 Map of Fowler Coulee SW

About this map

The Principal Meridian bisects this Pondera County landscape, reflecting the geometric precision of the Montana land system during the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of South Pondera Coulee in the north and Rocky Coulee which cuts across the central and southern sections. These natural drainages provided the primary topographical relief in an area otherwise characterized by systematic section lines and agricultural boundaries. Evidence of modern infrastructure is visible through the diagonal path of a Pipeline crossing the southwestern corner, illustrating the development of energy transport across this rural expanse. The map serves as a clear record of the intersection between natural watercourses and the rigid human-imposed grid of the township and range system.
