2017 Map of Jakes Coulee

About this map

The W Fork Poplar River carves through this northern Montana landscape, marking the transition between Daniels and Roosevelt counties. This 2017 study illustrates a sparse, high-plains environment defined by natural drainages and the rigid lines of the Public Land Survey System. Modern infrastructure is limited to corridors like Lannon Rd, which cuts across the township boundaries of t33n r47e. The map captures the subtle topography of the Wolf Point District, where water is the primary sculptor of the terrain. Narrow draws like Police Cr and Cottonwood Cr feed into the larger river system, while the namesake Jakes Coulee provides a distinct landmark for local navigability and historical land use in this open ranching country.
