2024 Map of Hobo Coulee

About this map

Hobo Coulee carves through the central portion of this Rosebud County landscape, illustrating the drainage patterns typical of eastern Montana’s high plains. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of South Sunday Creek and its southern counterpart, South-Sunday Creek, which weave through the townships of T10N R44E and T9N R44E. These seasonal watercourses are supplemented by smaller tributaries like Louie and Scottie Creek, providing essential water access in an otherwise arid environment. Evidence of human modification for ranching and land management is visible at Donald Reservoir in the eastern reaches of the map. The spatial distribution of these features, alongside the naming of Rose Coulee, reflects the long-standing ranching tradition and the importance of specific water sources in this sparsely settled region.
