2017 Map of Hobo Coulee

About this map

Hobo Coulee defines this portion of Rosebud County, where the topography is shaped by a network of seasonal drainages and named coulees. The landscape in this 2017 survey is characterized by the winding path of S Sunday Cr, which receives flow from smaller tributaries like Louie and Scottie Cr. Further south, Coal Cr and Rose Coulee reveal the intricate erosional patterns common to the Montana plains. The presence of Donald Reservoir near Bow and Arrow Cr suggests the critical importance of water management in this cattle-ranching region. Unlike more developed areas, the map shows a landscape largely defined by its natural drainage systems and section-line boundaries rather than dense settlements, providing a clear view of modern land use in the rural West.
