Black Coulee and Larson Coulee carve through the high plains of northern Montana in this modern survey of the borderlands between Liberty and Hill Counties. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System, with township lines like t31n r7e and t32n r8e dictating the placement of the rural road network. Agricultural and ranching interests are reflected in the grid of named thoroughfares, including Beulow Rd and S Joplin Rd, which navigate the subtle rises of Dobie Ridge and the depressions of Hay Coulee. This map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns in the northern reaches of the state, where intermittent water features like Flat Coulee dictate the movement and settlement patterns in an area defined by wide-open ranch land.
