2024 Map of Steele Lake Coulee

About this map

Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument anchors the northern reaches of this landscape where Chouteau and Fergus counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees, including Miller Coulee, Woodcock Coulee, and Steele Lake Coulee, which carve through the high plains toward the meandering path of Arrow Creek in the south. The drainage patterns here reveal a deeply eroded geography where small seasonal watercourses like Dossett Coulee and Engellant Coulee drop toward the Missouri River system.
