2024 Map of Timber Coulee South

About this map

Teton Ridge dominates the southern portion of this landscape, where the elevation drops into the drainage systems of north-central Montana. The terrain is defined by the stark division between Teton Co and Chouteau Co, a political boundary that cuts through the open high plains. Water is the primary architect of this geography, specifically the namesake Timber Coulee which winds through the northern sections, creating the distinct topographical relief that characterizes the quadrangle. The human footprint is traced through a grid-like network of rural routes, including 18th Rd Ne, 16th Rd Ne, and Bliss Ln, which follow the township and range lines. This modern survey reflects the enduring spatial organization of the West, where land use and movement are dictated by a combination of section lines and the natural contours of the coulee systems.
