1958 Map of Miller Coulee

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Billingsley Ranch and several other family outposts dot this 1958 landscape, revealing the sparse settlement patterns of Valley County during the mid-twentieth century. The terrain is defined by a complex network of dry coulees, including Billick Coulee and Miller Coulee, which serve as natural drainage paths toward the larger creek systems. Water management is the primary human imprint on this land, evidenced by an extensive system of numbered and named catchments such as Two Butte Reservoir, Keeney Reservoir, and McIntyre Reservoir. These features, along with names like Gideon Ranch and Engstrom Ranch, speak to the enduring ranching economy required to sustain life in this arid region. The presence of Blanchard Cabin and various Gravel Pits further indicates the practical, resource-driven nature of local activity. Modern researchers can trace the historic boundaries of these remote Montana holdings through the placement of Reservoir No 14 and Brazil Creek in relation to the surrounding coulees.
