About this map

Little Jewel Coulee meanders through the southern portion of this landscape, carving into the high plains of Blaine County. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of the Big Flat region, where a geometric grid of section-line roads facilitates agriculture and ranching. Family-named routes such as Wolery Rd, Tooke Rd, and Cederberg Rd define the local geography, serving as a record of early 21st-century property access and settlement patterns in this northern Montana prairie. Notable through-routes include Loring Rd and Cornell Rd, which connect remote homesteads across the drainage divides between Black Coulee Rd and the coulees to the south. The mapping of Little Jewell Rd and Scones Ln provides researchers with a precise view of the local transport network as it functioned before more recent landscape shifts.
