2017 Map of O'Juel Lake

About this map

Opheim Hills and the Dahl Hills define this high prairie landscape in northeastern Montana, characterized by a complex network of drainage coulees and ephemeral water sources. The small, private Floyd Ranch Airport sits along Theony Rd in the northern portion of the map, serving as a rare point of modern infrastructure in an area dominated by cattle ranching and open range. Water is central to the local geography, with isolated landmarks like O'Juel Lake, Dashers Spring, and Georges Pond providing vital resources across the arid terrain. The map records the varied topography of the Big Muddy Creek drainage, tracing the paths of the Middle Fork Porcupine Cr and W Fork Porcupine Cr through a series of named depressions such as Coyote Coulee and Shaw Coulee.
