2014 Map of Niles Coulee

About this map

Niles Coulee and its neighboring drainage systems define this section of Valley County, Montana, showing a landscape shaped by intermittent water and pastoral management. The terrain is marked by a network of seasonal watercourses including Ten Trees Cr and Timber Cr, which feed into numerous small-scale water management features. Ranching infrastructure is evident through the presence of Corral Reservoir, Mc Kee Reservoir, and Anderson Reservoir, points of vital importance in this arid environment. Navigation across these remote tracts is limited to established routes like Ridge Rd and Anderson Rd, which follow the contours of the high ground between the coulees. The map details the complex geography of Little Frenchman Coulee and North Frenchman Coulee, providing a clear record of the area's physical characteristics and boundary divisions under the Public Land Survey System.
