2020 Map of Pedigo Coulee

About this map

Prairie Elk Cr and its numerous tributaries dominate this McCone County landscape, carving a complex network of drainages through the northeastern Montana plains. The topography is defined by deep incisions like Pedigo Coulee and Solly Coulee, which illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of this region. Named watercourses such as Flying V Cr and Figure Eight Cr provide a rare look at local ranching-era nomenclature preserved on modern surveys. The absence of developed settlements or major highways highlights the remote, open-range nature of the territory within townships t23n r46e and t22n r46e. Cuttybeck Coulee and Middle Fork Prairie Elk Cr further map the intricate watershed that eventually feeds into larger northern systems, offering a clear record of the area's natural drainage before any significant human alteration.
