1973 Map of Nielsen Coulee

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The confluence of the Poplar River and its West Fork dominates this portion of the northern Montana plains. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map reveals a landscape defined by deep drainage systems like Nielsen Coulee and Cabarett Coulee that carve through the high prairie. The boundary between Daniels County and Roosevelt County bisects the terrain, illustrating the administrative divisions of this sparsely settled cattle and wheat country. Multiple Springs are marked along the coulee walls, highlighting the critical water sources that dictated the placement of ranching infrastructure and early homesteading routes in this semi-arid region. Traceable fence lines and small creek beds like Price Creek and Reiner Coulee show the intricate ways local topography influenced land use and property boundaries during this era.
