1970 Map of Poverty Coulee SE

About this map

The Marias River meanders through the southern reaches of this landscape, its path carving deep into the Montana plains. Mapped at the start of the 1970s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainage channels, including the prominent Hay Coulee and Eightmile Coulee. These features illustrate the complex erosional patterns typical of the Missouri River Basin development area. The land reflects a pattern of large-scale ranching or agricultural use, characterized by long, named coulees such as Kjar Coulee and Larson Coulee that stretch toward the river valley. The isolation of the territory is marked by the presence of a lone Landing Strip situated on the high benchland between the coulees. A jurisdictional boundary between Liberty and Hill counties runs along the eastern edge of the survey, providing a precise reference for local history and land ownership researchers.
