About this map

Lodgepole Cr and its tributaries carve a complex network of drainages across this Garfield County landscape, defining the local topography through a series of named coulees. The terrain is anchored by prominent landmarks such as Finley Butte and the elevated stretch of Blue Ridge to the northeast. Water sources are vital in this environment, represented by named points like Finley Spring and Heron Springs.

The map reveals a landscape structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines intersecting various geographic features including Seventynine Coulee and Sherman Coulee. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of eastern Montana's high plains, where the naming of individual breaks like Bratten Coulee and Germaine Coulee provides essential orientation for land management and navigation in an area defined by its drainage patterns.
