2011 Map of Gails Coulee

About this map

Tenmile Creek and Hay Creek flow eastward across this high plains landscape in Yellowstone County, defining a drainage pattern typical of the Montana steppe. The terrain is marked by the eponymous Gails Coulee, which sits north of the primary transit corridor. A major divided highway cuts through the southern portion of the sheet, providing access to the Hardin Rest Area and connecting the region via E Arrow Creek Rd. The map illustrates a sparse, working landscape where seasonal watercourses like Spring Creek and Alkali Creek shape the contours of the land between intermittent road developments.
