2020 Map of Thoeny Hills West

About this map

Thoeny Hills rises above a landscape defined by deep drainages and intermittent water sources in this northern Montana prairie region. The geography is marked by the distinct coulees that carve through the high plains, including Kennedy Coulee to the north and Voje Coulee in the southwest. A notable human footprint in this arid terrain is the Grag Reservoir, reflecting the necessity of water management for livestock and ranching in Phillips County. The passage of Turkey Track Rd provides the primary north-south transit through the eastern section of the quadrangle, crossing Dunham Coulee and following the general course of Cottonwood Cr. This survey illustrates the relationship between isolated topographic features and the thin network of local roads that serve the high ranching country just south of the Canadian border.
