2017 Map of Spanish Coulee School

About this map

Spanish Coulee School serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape of Cascade County, where the terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainage coulees and seasonal creeks. The Smith River snakes through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Hound Cr, Clark Cr, and Mullens Cr. This area is defined by its rural ranching character, evidenced by the named coulees like Spanish Coulee, Murphy Coulee, and Spring Willow Coulee that dictate the path of local roads. These routes, including Millegan Rd and Ten Mile Rd, navigate the high divides between the watersheds of Flat Cr and the larger river system to the east. The map provides a detailed view of the cadastral divisions across townships T17N R2E and T17N R3E, illustrating the sparse settlement pattern typical of the Montana plains.
