2017 Map of Hawk Coulee

About this map

St. Marie sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, a community defined by its rigid street grid in contrast to the winding drainage networks of Valley County. The terrain is deeply incised by multiple coulees, including School Section Coulee and Foss Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff toward the primary waterways of Cherry Cr and the E Fork Cherry Cr. These geographical features dictate the local transportation network, where rural routes like Cherry Valley Rd and Spring Coulee Rd follow the natural contours of the land. The map reveals a transition between the developed residential area of St. Marie and the open ranching or agricultural tracts to the south. This 2017 survey captures the modern road nomenclature such as Medicine Walk Dr and Skylark Rd, providing contemporary context for local land use and property boundaries.
