2011 Map of Quigley Coulee

About this map

Grainbelt Cemetery stands as a quiet marker of early Hill County settlement on this high plains landscape. The terrain is defined by complex drainage patterns, where Quigley Coulee, Carske Coulee, and Lohman Coulee carve into the northern Montana soil. This 2011 survey reveals an environment shaped by local water management, featuring a series of small-scale impoundments such as Michigan Dam, Velk Dam, and Supenau Lake Dam that supported ranching operations. Near The Forks, the land rises toward Flagstaff Hill, a prominent landmark for travelers navigating via Flagstaff Rd and Amos Trl. The map documents a sparsely populated region where family-named features like Morse D Dam and Lohman Reservoir highlight the importance of water rights and geographic legacies in this part of the state.
