2014 Map of Snow Saucer Coulee

About this map

Windy Point rises above the high-elevation drainage network of central Montana, marking a transition from the rugged timberlands of the Lewis & Clark National Forest to the lower coulees. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses like Little Careless Cr and the larger Careless Cr, which carve through the terrain south toward Walters Coulee. The map illustrates the complex boundary where Fergus, Wheatland, and Golden Valley counties meet, showing a distinct shift in land use from the forested northern sections to the more open ranching and agricultural tracts in the south.
