2017 Map of Pender Coulee

About this map

Miller Lake and the drainage systems of Willow Cr and Whoop-Up Cr define the high plains landscape of central Montana along the Musselshell County line. This 2017 survey shows a region where modern infrastructure is shaped by the subtle relief of Pender Coulee and Jones Cr. Local movement through the township blocks is managed by a sparse network of ranching and mountain access roads, most notably Snowy Mountain Rd and Pronghorn Ranch Rd. While the terrain appears open, the naming of features like Big Spring and Minerva Cr suggests the critical importance of water sources for land management in this semiarid environment.
