2011 Map of Jakes Coulee

About this map

The West Fork Poplar River meanders through this portion of Roosevelt County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent watercourses and ranching infrastructure. This region of northeastern Montana shows a reliance on water management in a semi-arid environment, evidenced by the J B and R Haversland Dam and the curiously named Below Zero Dam. The terrain is marked by drainage features such as Police Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which feed into the larger river system. Significant landforms include the namesake Jakes Coulee in the southeastern quadrant, while Lannon Rd provides one of the few named terrestrial transit routes across the open country north of the Wolf Point District.
