2020 Map of Tunis

About this map

Tunis serves as a central point of reference in this High Plains landscape where the Missouri River and Teton River carve through the breaks of Chouteau County. The map details a rugged topography defined by deep coulees, such as Bullhead Coulee and Bird Coulee, which drain toward the river systems. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote road network essential to the ranching economy, including Spring Station Rd and Elbow Ranch Rd. The presence of Eightmile Spring and its namesake Eightmile Coulee highlights the importance of water sources in this semi-arid environment. Further south, the terrain descends toward the winding Missouri River, flanked by Short Coulee and Long Coulee, illustrating the erosional patterns of the Montana prairie.
