2017 Map of Shipstead Coulee

About this map

W Fork Poplar River meanders through the central and southern reaches of this landscape, carving a distinct valley through the northern plains of Montana. The drainage patterns define the region's topography, with Police Cr flowing in the north and Hell Cr appearing in the southeast. Named for a specific landform, Shipstead Coulee marks the southwestern terrain, where the elevation changes become more pronounced. This 2017 survey reveals a sparse network of section-line roads and named routes that navigate the township and range boundaries. Key transit lines include Police Creek Rd and Wilcoxon Rd, which connect the open sections of the Wolf Point District. The map provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure and natural watercourses that have dictated land use in Roosevelt County for generations.
