2024 Map of Seventynine Coulee

About this map

Lodgepole Creek and its many winding tributaries define the drainage patterns of this central Montana landscape. The area is characterized by a complex system of coulees, including the namesake Seventynine Coulee and the extensive Seventynine Creek, which branch out across the Garfield County terrain. While largely open land, the map identifies the location of Herron, providing a specific point of reference for local historians or genealogists interested in this corner of the state. Distinctive topographical features such as Finley Butte and Blue Ridge offer prominent landmarks above the draws of Bratten Coulee and North Kirby Coulee. This 2024 data reflects a modern survey of the Public Land Survey System, showing township boundaries from T17N to T19N. The presence of Finley Spring highlights the vital importance of water sources in this dry, channeled environment.
