About this map

North Coulee and its neighboring ravines define this section of the Prairie County landscape, where the drainage systems of the Yellowstone River basin have carved distinct patterns into the earth. The area is characterized by a series of named coulees, including Brush Coulee, Timber Coulee, and Ash Coulee, which serve as natural landmarks in a region defined by its complex topography. These features indicate a history of seasonal water flow and erosion that has shaped the local land use and transit.

Transportation through this portion of eastern Montana is limited to a sparse network of rural routes such as Bad Route Rd and Brackett Creek Rd. The map tracks several key watercourses, most notably the Middle Fork Bad Route Cr and Brackett Cr, which dictate the placement of roads and boundaries. This 2020 survey provides a detailed look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, from T16N R49E to T14N R50E, essential for tracing land ownership and legal descriptions in this pastoral setting.
