1973 Map of Goodale Coulee

About this map

The international boundary between Canada and the United States defines the northern edge of this prairie landscape, where the high plains of Northeast Montana meet Saskatchewan. This 1970s-era survey captures a rural environment focused on agriculture and transportation, notably the Soo Line railroad tracking along the southern portion of the quadrangle. The land is drained by a network of seasonal watercourses, including Whitetail Creek and its southern and northern forks, as well as the namesake Goodale Coulee. Scattered clusters of Storage Bins across the terrain reflect the region's grain-production heritage. Along the eastern edge, the county line between Daniels and Sheridan counties intersects the winding path of Beaver Creek, providing a detailed look at the local geography before many small-scale farm structures and specific rail-side markers were altered by late-century changes.
