2024 Map of Hendrickson Coulee

About this map

Sheepshead Bluffs rises over a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and coulees along the border of Prairie and Dawson Counties. This high plains terrain is carved by the winding paths of Hendrickson Coulee and Dickoff Coulee, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of eastern Montana. The map documents the way water moves through this arid environment, with Bad Route Creek and Hatchet Creek flowing through the northern sections while Cottonwood Creek and Pine Creek dominate the south. Development is minimal, limited primarily to a sparse grid of gravel routes including Tower Rd and Fallon Tower Rd, which provide access across the township lines of t14n r51e and t13n r52e.
