2020 Map of Rocky Coulee SE

About this map

Flat Coulee and the meandering drainage of Black Coulee define the heart of this North Central Montana landscape on the border of Hill and Chouteau counties. The map documents a strictly rural, high-plains geography where water dictates the land's utility, evidenced by the intricate contouring around East Fork Black Coulee. The rectilinear grid of the Public Land Survey System is clearly marked by gravel and dirt transit routes such as Rudyard Rd S and Tiber Rd, which serve the isolated farmsteads across Townships 29 and 30 North. This modern survey reflects the enduring cattle and wheat-growing legacy of the region, where roads like Black Coulee Rd W and Sand Dunes Rd follow the section lines of the open range.
