2024 Map of Poverty Coulee NE

About this map

Dobie Ridge defines the southern landscape of this high-plains region in Liberty and Hill Counties, overlooking the complex drainage networks of north-central Montana. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep intermittent waterways, including Black Coulee and Larson Coulee, which cut through the agricultural sections. The map reveals the precise grid of section lines and range boundaries that govern this rural area, with transport provided by a network of gravel and dirt routes such as Beulow Rd and S Joplin Rd. This 2024 survey details the intersection of topographic relief and the Public Land Survey System, showing how Hay Coulee meanders through the southern townships. The scarcity of named settlements highlights the vast, open nature of this prairie landscape, where land management and water drainage are the primary features of human and natural interaction.
