About this map

New Miami Colony Ln and Frances Heights anchor the human geography of this high plains landscape at the border of Pondera and Teton Counties. The area is defined by the complex drainage of the Dry Fork Marias River, which splits into numerous branches including the N Fork Dry Fork Marias River, Middle Fork Dry Fork Marias River, and S Fork Dry Fork Marias River. These waterways carve deep coulees through the terrain, most notably at Lone Man Coulee.

Tracing the section lines reveals a network of rural routes that reflect the agricultural and extractive history of the region. Coalmine Rd points toward the industrial heritage of the area, while names like Miller Coulle Rd and Frances Heights Rd indicate the established family and settlement patterns. The prominence of the Black Buttes serves as a primary natural landmark overlooking the river forks.
