About this map

The settlement of Tunis sits along Us-87 in this central Montana landscape, where the high plains are deeply incised by complex drainage systems. To the north, the Teton River winds through a series of sharp bends, while the southern boundary is defined by a wide reach of the Missouri River. The terrain between these two major watercourses is marked by numerous ephemeral draws and coulees, including Eightmile Coulee and Bird Coulee, which illustrate the erosional patterns characteristic of the Chouteau County region.

Evidence of local ranching and transit history is found in the network of rural routes such as Elbowranch Rd, Tanzie Trl, and Spring Station Rd. Water remains a focal point for activity in this arid environment, represented by the perennial flow of the major rivers and the localized groundwater at Eightmile Springs. The map provides a clear view of the township and range divisions, showing how early land surveys organized the territory around natural features like Cherry Coulee and Long Coulee.
