2014 Map of Hendrickson Coulee

About this map

Sheepshead Bluffs rises over a complex drainage network in this section of eastern Montana, where the terrain is defined by the shifting border of Dawson and Prairie Counties. The area is characterized by deep erosion patterns, notably the extensive Hendrickson Coulee and Dickoff Coulee. These features dictate the local geography, channeling seasonal water into streams such as Bad Route Cr and Cottonwood Cr. Human presence is mapped through a sparse network of county roads and essential infrastructure, including the Bad Route Creek Bridge and the path of Fallon Tower Rd. The map illustrates the intersection of Township and Range lines, marking out T14N R51E and T14N R52E, which remain primary reference points for land management in this cattle-ranching country.
