About this map

N Fork Freeman Cr and S Fork Freeman Cr define the drainage patterns of this sparsely settled section of Meagher County. The landscape is characterized by a series of dramatic geographic depressions and watercourses, most notably the deep cut of Black Canyon and the curiously named Mowing Machine Coulee. To the north, Whitetail Cr and Trout Cr flow through the high-elevation terrain, while Pine Coulee and Mud Gulch mark the central and eastern sections of the quadrangle. The lack of named settlements or infrastructure suggests a primary land use of open-range grazing or forestry, with the natural topography dictated by features like Cals Gulch and Freeman Cr. Researchers can observe the intricate contour lines that represent the varied elevations between the different coulees and gulches that dominate this remote part of Montana.
