2020 Map of Rough Draw

About this map

The Little Wolf Mountains dominate the western portion of this 2020 landscape, where the high ridges of Rosebud County give way to a network of deeply etched coulees and ephemeral creek beds. The drainage pattern is a defining characteristic of this terrain, with the E Fork Armells Cr and W Fork Armells Cr cutting through the northern sections, while Slough Grass Cr winds through the south. This is an area of significant elevation changes and natural springs, many of which are specifically cataloged by their public land survey coordinates. The map captures the specialized local nomenclature of the high plains, where features like Richard Coulee, Lee Coulee, and Rape Coulee serve as primary landmarks in a region largely devoid of traditional town centers. Near the center, Rough Draw provides a focal point for the complex topography that defines this part of Montana.
