2014 Map of Sheep Coulee

About this map

Sun Prairie Flats dominates the central portion of this Phillips County landscape, illustrating the broad, open drainage patterns of the Montana plains. The terrain is defined by its coulees, most notably Sheep Coulee which divides into its South Fork and North Fork branches. These seasonal watercourses, including Box Elder Coulee and Little Sevenmile Cr, drain toward Flat Cr and Sage Cr, creating a complex network of topographical depressions. The human footprint in this part of Big Sky country is primarily reflected in the sparse road network, including Sun Prairie Rd and Content Rd, which follow the natural contours of features like The Big Sag. This map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System grid and the expansive, unpopulated reaches of the Missouri River country.
