2017 Map of Kuka Crossing

About this map

Birch Creek winds through the northern portion of this Pondera County landscape, defining a region where water management and ranching roads dominate the geography. The terrain is characterized by a series of distinct drainages such as Sober Up Coulee and Miller Coulee, leading toward the expansive Birch Creek Flats. The intricate network of irrigation features, including the Thomas Williamson Ditch, Ryan Lauffler Ditch, and the Twentywo K Canal, illustrates the essential infrastructure required to support agriculture in this part of Montana. Named landmarks like Kuka Crossing and a lone Chapel near Stoltz Rd serve as focal points for the local community, while a grid of rural routes including Molly's Nipple Rd and Valier-Dupuyer Rd connect the scattered homesteads and Coulees of the high plains.
