1972 Map of Ninemile Coulee West

About this map

Ninemile Coulee carves through the central terrain of this Hill County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns across the northern High Plains during the early 1970s. The region is characterized by an open, low-density settlement pattern typical of Montana's ranching and agricultural country. A solitary Landing Strip in the northwest corner highlights the importance of aviation for travel and transport in this expansive environment. Along the eastern edge of the survey, a notation for Wild Horse Trail 13 Mi. marks a significant historical route, indicating the orientation of travel toward local hubs. The map reveals the precise township and range boundaries that organized the land into its characteristic grid, providing an essential record for land-use researchers and genealogists tracing family property in the T. 36 N. and T. 35 N. area.
