2017 Map of Timber Coulee North

About this map

The Teton River meanders across this landscape at the intersection of Teton, Pondera, and Chouteau Counties. This area is defined by a series of dramatic geographic incisions, including Kinnerely Coulee, Kinley Coulee, and Flat Coulee, which drain toward the river valley. The map reveals a strict rectilinear grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as Faris School Rd and Copenhaver, characteristic of the High Plains agricultural settlement pattern. These thoroughfares connect disparate points of interest like Spencer Coulee and Rye Coulee, providing a clear record of land use and drainage in this part of Montana's Golden Triangle. The southern reaches are marked by more pronounced elevation changes as Timber Coulee cuts through the high ground south of the river.
