1984 Map of Hardpan Coulee

About this map

The eponymous Hardpan Coulee defines the drainage patterns of this Valley County landscape, where various forks and coulees converge in a complex hydrographic network. Small-scale water management projects are central to the terrain here, notably the VR-2 Reservoir and the adjacent Beechnut Reservoir and North Beaver Reservoir to the south. These catchments, combined with the winding paths of Antelope Creek and Brazil Creek, illustrate the historical efforts to capture and utilize runoff in the eastern Montana plains. The map also records the distinct paths of the North Fork Pot Hole Coulee and its southern counterpart, providing a detailed look at the local geography of the North Fork Little Beaver Creek drainage before the turn of the twenty-first century.
