2014 Map of Harb SW

About this map

Pickhandle Coulee and Windmill Coulee define the drainage patterns of this high-plains landscape where Phillips Co and Valley Co meet. This 2014 survey documents a territory dominated by seasonal waterways and legal land divisions, showing the precise township and range lines such as t27n r33e. In the southeast corner, the primary transportation artery, Larb Creek Rd, follows the course of Larb Cr as it winds through the basin. Local nomenclature for the intermittent streams, including Albert Coulee, Trueblood Coulee, and Grove Coulee, reflects the ranching history and family names associated with these drainages. The map serves as a record of the public land survey system and the water-scarce geography typical of the eastern Montana rangelands.
