2024 Map of Kiehns Coulee

About this map

Fresno Reservoir dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, its fingers reaching into the surrounding terrain to form Kremlln Bay. The geography is defined by a complex drainage system of dry washes and ephemeral streams typical of Hill County, where numerous coulees have carved deep paths through the high plains. Major drainages such as Browns Coulee, Miller Coulee, and Kiehns Coulee converge toward the reservoir, illustrating the natural water management of this semi-arid region. In the northern reaches, the East Fork Cottonwood Coulee and Carske Coulee cross the survey area, while a sparse grid of rural routes like N Rd 110 and Fresno Rd N provides the only infrastructure. The map details the precise township and range boundaries that organized this territory for ranching and agriculture, showing how the land was partitioned long after the reservoir's creation.
