2014 Map of Poverty Coulee

About this map

Cottonwood Cr meanders across this northern Montana landscape, carving a primary drainage route through Liberty County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees that channel seasonal runoff toward larger water bodies, including Tiber Coulee and Poverty Coulee. In the southwest corner, the Gagnon Reservoir provides a managed water source near the confluence of several minor drainages. This 2014 survey reveals a geometric grid of rural routes such as MT-223 and 4000 RD S, which facilitate transit across the high plains. Named for local families or early settlers, features like Loranger Coulee, Clausen Coulee, and Stellner Coulee offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family land holdings in the Hi-Line region.
