2020 Map of Hay Coulee

About this map

Square Butte rises above the drainage networks of Garfield County, marking a prominent natural landmark in this section of central Montana. The landscape is defined by its deep coulees and seasonal creek forks, reflecting the arid character of the region's topography. Hay Coulee and Cottonwood Coulee carve through the terrain, while water courses like the Dry Fork Nancy Russell Cr and N Fork Lodgepole Cr suggest a complex watershed system. Human presence is sparse, dictated by the remote geography and represented primarily by N Lodge Pole Rd, which provides the primary access through these townships. The detailed contour lines and drainage patterns, including the path of Union Cr, highlight the erosion-carved plateaus typical of this prairie environment.
