2020 Map of Jim Coulee

About this map

Jim Coulee and the surrounding drainage systems define this section of Musselshell County, characterized by a series of significant watercourses and landforms. The map area is primarily organized around the namesake Jim Coulee and Little Wall Cr, which meander through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. In the south, the prominent landform known as Big Wall stands near the confluence of several branches, including Crooked Cr and N Willow Cr. The landscape is etched by these creeks, with Howard Cr cutting across the northeastern corner. Infrastructure is sparse, anchored by rural routes like Colony Way and N Gage Rd that follow the natural topography. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote character of central Montana, showing how the Public Land Survey System grids, such as t11n r27e, overlay a terrain deeply shaped by its seasonal waterways.
