2024 Map of Nightshoot Coulee

Surface features like the Red Buttes provide vertical relief in an area otherwise marked by the deep incisions of Hoodoo Coulee and Little Rock Coulee. Human presence is sparse, indicated primarily by the township and range lines of the Public Land Survey System and Buck Ranch Rd in the north, suggesting a region largely dedicated to ranching and open rangeland. The drainage patterns shown here provide a clear look at how water moves through this part of the northern Montana prairie.
