2014 Map of Pender Coulee

About this map

Pender Coulee stretches across this central Montana landscape, defining the local relief where the Musselshell County line meets the northern edge of the survey. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including Whoop-Up Creek and Willow Creek, which feed into the area's hydrology alongside Miller Lake and Big Spring. This 2014 survey documents a ranching and grazing environment, as evidenced by the namesake Grazing District Road and Pronghorn Ranch Road. The transition from the drainages of Minerva Creek and Dry Creek in the south toward the higher coulee lands illustrates the open, managed range of the western plains. Local travel is marked by rural thoroughfares like Kombol Road and Snowy Mountain Road, connecting isolated ranch lands within the established township and range grid.
