About this map

The Teton River cuts a winding path through this northern Montana landscape, where the confluence of several prominent drainage features defines the local geography. This survey highlights the intersection of Teton, Pondera, and Chouteau counties, a point where the vast open plains are etched by deep erosion patterns like Flat Coulee, Rye Coulee, and the namesake Timber Coulee. The rural infrastructure is characterized by a precise grid of section-line roads, including Faris School Rd, suggesting the historical locations of early community centers.

Agricultural land use is evident in the transition from the river valley to the higher benches. Smaller topographical features such as Spencer Coulee and Kinley Coulee provide significant detail for those studying the natural drainage and land ownership patterns of the region. The map captures the enduring rural character of this multi-county borderland, centered on the life-giving waters of the river.
