2014 Map of Stinking Coulee

About this map

Stinking Coulee and Kelley Coulee dominate this landscape in Dawson County, Montana, where a complex network of seasonal drainages carves through the high plains. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Twin Buttes and the expansive Threemile Table to the east. Water distribution is centralized around several forks of local creeks, including the N Fork Deer Cr and S Fork Deer Cr in the south, and Lower Sevenmile Cr which winds through the northern sections. A grid of rural routes, including Road 439 and MT-254, provides the primary access through these townships. This survey serves as a detailed record of the drainage patterns and land divisions of the Montana prairie in the early twenty-first century.
