2024 Map of Lone Man Coulee East

About this map

The Dry Fork Marias River meanders across this landscape of the High Plains, carving a network of drainages that define the local geography. The map reveals a transition from the elevated Benton Bench to the deeper cuts of Lone Man Coulee and Miller Coulee. This area at the border of Pondera and Teton counties is organized by a precise grid of section lines and gravel routes, including Conrad Dupuyer Rd and Coalmine Rd. The naming of features like Haatvedt Coulee and Sam George Rd points to the legacy of early ranching and homesteading families in this section of north-central Montana. The landscape is primarily defined by its drainage basins, such as the Pondera Coulee in the south, reflecting the importance of water management in this arid agricultural region.
