2014 Map of Lelig Coulee

About this map

The S Fork Lodgepole Cr drainage network defines this high-plains landscape in Garfield County, where a complex system of coulees carves through the terrain. The map details an area of Eastern Montana dominated by traditional ranching and water management features, including the Ezekiel Reservoir and Split Reservoir. The nomenclature of the land reflects a history of local landholders and family names, preserved through labels such as Henryson Coulee, North Wilson Coulee, and Sandage Coulee. Aside from the primary transit of Lodgepole Rd, the territory is characterized by its intermittent watercourses and the seasonal drainage of the Lelig Coulee, which provides an essential understanding of the area's hydrology and historical land use patterns before the mid-2010s.
