2017 Map of Olson Coulee North

About this map

Arnett Cem sits on a high point in the northwestern corner of this Dawson County landscape, serving as a primary genealogical landmark for researchers of this rural Montana territory. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably Olson Coulee and Stilson Coulee, which cut through the undulating plains between the townships of t20n r50e and t19n r51e. Local hydrology is mapped through several seasonal watercourses including Corral Cr, Bluff Cr, and Brush Cr. A sparse network of county roads, specifically RD 422 and RD 424, provide the only modern structural framework for this open country, illustrating the low-density settlement patterns characteristic of the region's agricultural and ranching history into the twenty-first century.
