2020 Map of Kiehns Coulee

About this map

Fresno Reservoir defines the southwestern portion of this Hill County landscape, where the waters of Kremlin Bay reach into the prairie. The surrounding terrain is characterized by an intricate network of drainage channels, locally known as coulees, that carve through the high plains. Significant topographic markers include the eponymous Kiehns Coulee and Messerschmidt Coulee to the east, while East Fork Cottonwood Coulee dominates the northern reaches. This 2020 survey illustrates a sparsely populated agricultural region, where the section-line grid of the Public Land Survey System is maintained by rural routes such as N Rd 110 and Rd 40 N. The map provides a clear record of modern land management and water resources, documenting the names of family-held or historically recognized landmarks like Little Dane Coulee and Browns Coulee.
