2020 Map of Gougley Creek

About this map

The border of Wheatland Co and Sweet Grass Co divides this rural Montana landscape, characterized by a series of deep drainage channels and seasonal waterways. The topography is defined by significant landmarks like Fredrickson Coulee and Sheep Shed Coulee, which cut through the high plains. A network of ranch roads, including Tony Creek Rd and Cooney Rd, provides access to the interior, tracing the paths of local water sources such as Gougley Cr and Fish Cr. The drainage patterns are intricate, with smaller tributaries like Sadie Cr and Dead Beaver Cr flowing toward larger basins. This map reflects a contemporary view of the region's ranching infrastructure, where the placement of small lanes like Adams Ln and crossings like Red Bridge Rd follow the dictates of the winding coulees and creek beds.
