2011 Map of Kraut Coulee

About this map

Prairie Lawn Cemetery serves as a lone quiet landmark in this stretch of McCone County, where the landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages of the Missouri River plateau. The drainage network is anchored by Wolf Creek and Little Creek, while the namesake Kraut Coulee and Waters Coulee carve through the terrain. Human modification of the arid environment is evident in the water management infrastructure, including Waters Reservoir and several small-scale impoundments such as Waters Number 5 Dam and Brown Bear Dam. The road network, including Redwater Rd and Vida East Rd, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, reflecting the organized ranching and agricultural development of this eastern Montana region.
