1969 Map of Rudie Coulee

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

East Fork Little Porcupine Creek and its complex network of coulees dominate this 1969 topographic survey of Rosebud County, Montana. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the high plains, where intermittent watercourses have carved distinct pathways across the terrain. Human modification of this environment is most evident at Rudie Dam, a localized engineering effort to manage water in an arid rangeland. Other significant drainages like Rudie Coulee and Wildcat Coulee illustrate the characteristic erosion patterns of the region. This 1960s perspective on the land highlights the isolation and hydrological reliance of rural Montana, showing how named features like Ryans Creek and Badland Coulee serve as vital landmarks in a largely unpopulated expanse of the American West.
