2011 Map of Sheep Coulee

About this map

Sun Prairie Flats dominates the center of this Phillips County landscape, a region defined by its complex network of seasonal drainages and water management features. At the heart of the area, Sheep Coulee is formed by the convergence of the North Fork Sheep Coulee and South Fork Sheep Coulee, demonstrating the natural erosion patterns of the northern Montana plains. The presence of the Kelso Number 3 Dam suggests the importance of water storage in this arid environment, where intermittent streams like Flat Creek and Little Sevenmile Creek provide the primary topographic relief. Transportation in the early 21st century follows long-established paths, notably Sun Prairie Rd and Content Rd, which connect these remote coulees and drainage basins.
