About this map

Sandrock Spring and Garverich Spring anchor the drainages in this ranching landscape of Treasure County. The terrain is defined by a series of deep coulees including Wales Coulee, Miller Coulee, and the eponymous Scraper Coulee, which serve as natural catchments for seasonal runoff feeding into Sarpy Cr and Box Elder Cr.

Modern infrastructure follows the contours of the land, with Sarpy Rd providing the primary north-south passage through the eastern sections. Local access is marked by descriptive routes such as Gumbo Hill Rd and Cemetery Rd, reflecting the practical naming conventions of rural Montana. This 2017 survey details the complex network of intermittent streams like Swede Cr and W Corral Cr, tracing the water sources essential for livestock and settlement in this semi-arid region.
