2020 Map of Gady Coulee

About this map

Gady Coulee and the drainage of Sheep Cr define this pocket of the Big Sky State, where the high plains are carved by winding seasonal watercourses. This 2020 survey of McCone County illustrates a landscape managed through a grid of section lines and gravel access roads, reflecting the large-scale ranching and dryland farming traditions of Eastern Montana. The map traces the path of Rte 201 as it cuts east-west through the terrain, connecting isolated properties and range land. Notable local identifiers like Shock, Ahren Loop, and Loges Rd provide essential touchpoints for researchers tracing family holdings or the specific geography of northern Big Sheep Creek country. The transition from the flat uplands near Sunnyside Rd to the intricate breaks of the coulees shows the relationship between topography and the placement of rural infrastructure.
