2020 Map of Sagebrush Coulee

About this map

The northern plains of Liberty County are defined by a series of dramatic drainages that cut through the high prairie south of the Canadian border. These topographical features, often bearing the names of early settler families, include Stewart Coulee, Arnst Coulee, and the eponymous Sagebrush Coulee. The presence of Walden Reservoir and Potts Reservoir in the northeast corner, along with Browns Reservoir to the west, reflects the vital role of water management in this arid agricultural landscape. A precise grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as Kammzell Rd and Tiber Rd, provides the primary structure for movement across this sparsely populated region, where large-scale ranching and dryland farming predominate.
