2014 Map of Poverty Coulee SE

About this map

The Marias River carves a deep, winding path through the southern reaches of this landscape, defining the rugged topography of the High Plains in Hill County. The terrain is marked by a series of dramatic coulees, including Kjar Coulee in the north and Wolfe Coulee near the river, illustrating how water has shaped this arid environment over time. A disciplined grid of section roads, such as S Joplin Rd and 2000 Rd E, overlays the natural drainage systems of Cottonwood Cr and Eightmile Coulee. This 2014 survey captures the intersection of large-scale agricultural land management and the ancient river-cut geography along the Liberty and Hill County line. The proximity of Mt-366 and a network of numbered rural roads suggests a landscape focused on ranching and regional connectivity between remote Montana settlements.
