2020 Map of Pipes Coulee

About this map

The Sacagawea River winds across this Fergus County landscape, defining the local hydrology alongside tributaries like Little Crooked Cr and Antelope Cr. The terrain is characterized by a series of distinct drainage ravines, most notably the central Pipes Coulee, which gives the quadrangle its name. Other significant topographic depressions include Whisker Coulee to the north and Rasmussen Coulee in the southeast. These features illustrate the intricate erosion patterns common in the northern plains. This area is divided by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t20n r25e, t20n r26e, t19n r25e, and t19n r26e, providing a precise grid for locating specific land parcels within the watershed of the river and its many named coulees, such as Schoneke Coulee and Hay Coulee.
