2020 Map of N Bar Coulee

About this map

Crow Rock Rd cuts a diagonal path through this Montana landscape, marking the primary route through an area defined by deep drainages and cattle country. The terrain is centered around the eponymous N Bar Coulee and Owens Coulee, which channel seasonal water toward the larger winding system of North Sunday Creek. This contemporary survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the high plains, where named watercourses like Bow and Arrow Cr, Grimes Cr, and Alkali Cr carve through the sections of Rosebud and Custer counties. This rural expanse, divided into township and range grids, reveals the persistent patterns of land use and property boundaries in a region where water sources dictate the names on the land.
