About this map

Nunemaker Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Teton County, where the high plains are deeply etched by a series of drainage coulees. The landscape is defined by the erosion patterns of Wolf Coulee, Nunemaker Coulee, and Hay Coulee, which channel runoff toward the north and east. To the south, the terrain ascends toward Eagle Point, overlooking the broader basin.

Water management and ranch access dictate the human footprint here, centered on the Pishkun Canal Rd and Pishkun Rd. These corridors, along with Hodgkiss Rd, follow the natural contours of the land, connecting isolated high points and crossing intermittent streams like Willow Cr and Deep Cr. This 2017 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region of Montana where the economy is tied to the topography of the coulees and the seasonal flow of the creeks.
