2014 Map of Horse Pasture Coulee

About this map

Horse Pasture Coulee defines the drainage patterns of this Phillips County landscape, where the seasonal movement of water has carved deep coulees across the High Plains. This 2014 survey captures a terrain dominated by ranching and grazing utility, evidenced by features like the Black Cow Reservoir. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with sections of Township 27 North and Townships 31 and 32 East clearly delineated. Beyond the namesake coulee, the map traces the paths of Smith Coulee, Miller Coulee, and the intermittent flows of Beaver Cr. Human infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to Content Rd and unnamed trails that connect these remote drainage basins. Genealogists and local historians can use this map to identify specific land parcels and natural landmarks used by generations of Montana ranchers, from Little Sevenmile Cr in the south to the northern reaches of D H S Cr.
