2020 Map of Stiffarm Coulee

About this map

Hays sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the northern slopes of the Little Rocky Mountains meet the high plains of Blaine County. This topography is defined by a dense network of drainages and coulees, including Stiffarm Coulee and Jim Brown Cr, which carve through the breaks and flats. The map illustrates a distinctive transition from the elevated Carry Water Bench and Warneke Flat down into deeply cut features like Owl Head Canyon and Curly Head Canyon.
