2011 Map of Soda Spring Coulee

About this map

Soda Spring Coulee cuts across this high plains landscape of central Montana, defining a region where water sources like Soda Spring and Coffee Creek are central to the geography. In the early 21st century, the area remained a remote stretch of Fergus County, characterized by a grid of rural routes that serve isolated ranching properties. These roads, including Everson Rd and Sunnyside Rd, connect the open terrain to prominent landmarks such as Black Butte. To the southeast, the topography is carved by Wolf Creek and the deep draws of Campbell Coulee, illustrating the drainage patterns that flow through this portion of the northern plains. The map depicts a late-modern era of the American West where land use is etched into the earth through these long, straight section roads like Bear Springs Rd and Ayers Rd.
