1971 Map of John Coulee
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Fort Belknap Indian Reservation Boundary marks the eastern edge of this Missouri River Basin landscape, where the high plains break into a network of complex drainage systems. The terrain is characterized by the Badlands and deep-set coulees, including John Coulee and Buck Coulee, which serve as the primary topographical markers for this region of Blaine and Phillips counties. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a land defined more by its natural geography and watercourses like Little Suction Creek than by human infrastructure. A few utilitarian traces appear across the drainage divides, such as a Jeep Trail and a noted Drill Hole, reflecting the area's use for resource exploration and cattle ranging during the early 1970s.
