2014 Map of Rocky Coulee SW

About this map

The Marias River meanders through the southern portion of this high-plains landscape, cutting a deep valley into the topography of Hill Co. This 2014 survey illustrates the stark transition from the level agricultural lands of t30n r8e and t29n r8e to the complex drainage systems of Eightmile Coulee and Flat Coulee. A strict grid of section roads, including Inverness Rd and Road 55 S, organizes the landscape, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in Montana. Near the eastern boundary, Hansen Dr follows the edge of the coulees, marking the boundary between the elevated plains and the river breaks below. This map is particularly useful for understanding modern land division and rural infrastructure in this portion of the northern plains.
