2014 Map of Jakes Coulee

About this map

The W Fork Poplar River flows through this northeastern Montana landscape, marking a significant hydrologic feature south of the Daniels Co Roosevelt Co line. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Missouri River basin, where Police Cr and Cottonwood Cr carve through the high plains. In the southeastern portion of the map, the namesake Jakes Coulee forms a distinct topographic depression. The human imprint on the land is represented by a sparse network of section-line roads, including Lannon Rd and Kile Rd, which provide access across the vast agricultural and grazing tracts of Roosevelt County. This map captures the region's characteristic open-range topography and the essential relationship between water sources and travel routes in a remote prairie environment.
