1978 Map of Leiberg Coulee

About this map

Merino Bench dominates the southern portion of this landscape, reflecting the broad, elevated plateaus characteristic of the Judith Basin in the late 1970s. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of north-flowing drainages, most notably Leiberg Coulee and the larger Arrow Creek. These watercourses create a complex network of breaks and draws, such as Big Coulee, which contrast sharply with the flat, productive benches used for dryland farming.
