2011 Map of Tin Can Hill

About this map

Blood Creek and Cottonwood Creek define the drainage of this interior Montana landscape, carving a network of coulees across the terrain. The namesake elevation, Tin Can Hill, serves as a central landmark in this ranching country, surrounded by naming conventions that reflect local history such as Camelbratten Coulee and Jackson Coulee. The infrastructure here is sparse and utilitarian, centered on the junction of Upper Tin Can Hill Rd and Lower Tin Can Hill Rd. This 2011 survey captures the area's rural character, where small-scale water management like the Deep Coulee Dam and isolated routes like Gilfeather Rd provide the only significant markers of human presence in the expansive territory.
