2014 Map of Sheep Coulee Spring

About this map

Sheep Coulee Spring serves as a vital water source in this section of Chouteau County, where the high plains are carved by seasonal drainages and a network of section-line roads. This survey of the Montana landscape reveals a sparse, rural environment defined by topographical features like Wolf Coulee in the northeast and the wide reach of Sheep Coulee to the south. The human footprint is marked by long-standing transit routes, including the prominent Bootlegger Trl and Promised Land Rd, which reflect the region's agricultural and frontier history. Land use is organized around the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries such as t24n r3e and t25n r4e meeting here. The map traces the rugged descent toward Alkali Coulee, illustrating the interplay between the dry upland plateaus and the deep coulees that provide natural drainage for the territory.
