2017 Map of Gady Coulee

About this map

Gady Coulee defines the drainage patterns of this McCone County landscape, where the high plains are dissected by intermittent watercourses like Sheep Cr. The area is characterized by a sparse, systematic grid of rural roads and land boundaries, including t26n r48e and t26n r49e. The transportation network is anchored by Rte 201 and Frontage Rd, which provide access to the remote ranching country. Several named local routes such as Sunnyside Rd, Ahren Loop, and Loges Rd suggest long-established property divisions and family-named landmarks. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a quiet portion of eastern Montana where the landscape is largely shaped by the coulees and the gravel-road infrastructure connecting them.
