About this map

The Marias River carves a winding path across this northern Montana landscape, where the boundaries of Liberty, Hill, and Chouteau counties meet. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic drainages, including Horse Coulee and Dead Indian Coulee in the north, which give way to the broad plateaus of the central quadrangle. Water management is central to this rural region, as evidenced by Romain Reservoir and Lees Lake. A grid of local roads, such as Goosebill Rd and Terra Firma Rd, provide access to the vast open sections. The map illustrates the intersection of natural hydrology and political divisions, showing how geographic features like Fourmile Coulee and Sheep Coulee define the physical character of these high plains counties.
