About this map

Pigtail Coulee and its neighboring drainages define the high plains of Chouteau County in this 2014 survey. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and prominent rises, including Fourmile Hill and Tox Hill. The area is geographically segmented by extensive flats and ridges, such as PW Flats and PW Ridge, which suggest the expansive grazing or agricultural potential of this Montana terrain.

Transport through this part of the Missouri River watershed relies on established backroads like Judith Landing Rd and Eskay Rd, connecting remote points across the coulées. Notable local landmarks like Lidstone Hill and Johnson Hill provide vertical relief in an area dominated by deep erosion features like Clutchbaugh Coulee and Johns Coulee. This map documents a modern view of a sparsely populated but geographically distinct region of the American West.
