About this map

Mowing Machine Coulee and Pine Coulee define the northern drainage of this Meagher County landscape, where the terrain is marked by a network of springs and deep-cut gulches. A single Grave sits near Mowing Machine Coulee, a poignant human marker in an otherwise wilderness-heavy survey. The hydrology is dominated by the North Fork and South Fork as they converge toward Sheep Creek in the central portion of the sheet.

Transport is limited to a primitive Jeep Trail that winds through the southern ridges, connecting the headwaters of Freeman Creek and Indian Creek. This mid-1960s survey captures the area before modern development, focusing on the natural water sources like Whitetail Creek and Trout Creek that once supported local homesteading and ranching activities. The transition between Township 13 and 14 North reveals a complex topography of canyons, including Black Canyon, and distinctive drainages like Two Creek and Cats Gulch.
