2014 Map of Loring NW

About this map

Cottonwood Coulee defines the northern edge of this high plains landscape, situated immediately south of the international border where the United States and Montana meet the Canadian frontier. This 2014 survey of Phillips County reveals a vast, open topography marked by intermittent drainage patterns and a sparse network of section-line roads. The terrain is characterized by gradual elevation changes and natural depressions like Lone Tree Coulee, which provides a focal point for local drainage in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Human presence is delineated primarily through property boundaries and long-stretching thoroughfares such as Webb Rd and Sunny Slope Rd, reflecting the large-scale agricultural and ranching divisions typical of the northern Montana prairie.
