1985 Map of Gougley Creek

About this map

The Cayuse Hills dominate this high-plains landscape in central Montana, forming a series of dissected ridges and complex drainage basins during the mid-1980s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees and seasonal watercourses, including the family-named Fredrickson Coulee and the descriptively named Sheep Shed Coulee. These features suggest a history of open-range livestock management and isolated ranching activity typical of the borderlands between Wheatland and Sweet Grass counties.
