About this map

Horse Pasture Coulee defines the drainage patterns of this Phillips County landscape, where the prairie is carved by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and coulees. The terrain is characterized by numerous small, ephemeral wetlands and depressions, reflecting the high plains environment of northern Montana. The infrastructure is minimal, centered primarily on Content Rd and a series of section-line tracks that serve the surrounding ranching country.

Hydrological features such as Black Cow Reservoir and the meandering Beaver Creek indicate the critical importance of water management in this arid region. The map also traces the paths of D H S Creek and Little Sevenmile Creek, showing how these intermittent streams collect from smaller draws like Miller Coulee and Smith Coulee. This 2024 survey provides a modern look at the cadastral grid and land use patterns within the Big Dry and Musselshell drainage basins.
