About this map

Nunemaker Hill rises as the central landmark in this portion of Teton County, presiding over a landscape defined by seasonal drainage and ranching activity. The terrain is marked by a series of significant coulees, including Deep Coulee, Bruce Coulee, and Wolf Coulee, which channel water toward larger systems like Willow Creek and Deep Creek. The presence of several Alkali Flat labels suggests the arid, mineral-heavy nature of the basins between these ridges.

Local land use is represented by established outposts such as Hodgkiss Ranch and Burch Ranch, which are situated near critical water gaps and coulee mouths. Beyond agriculture, the map identifies localized industrial and communication infrastructure, specifically Gravel Pits and a Radio Tower. These features, along with prominent heights like Eagle Point, provide specific touchstones for understanding the spatial organization of Montana's high plains in the late twentieth century.
