1984 Map of Turner SE

About this map

Black Coulee and Little Jewel Coulee carve through the high plains of north-central Montana, defining the drainage patterns of this quiet landscape in the mid-1980s. This survey focuses on the boundary where Blaine Co meets Phillips Co, a region characterized by isolated topography and traditional section lines rather than dense settlement. The map documents the intricate contouring of the coulees, which serve as the primary geological landmarks in an area otherwise marked by seasonal watercourses and wide-open rangeland. Researchers will find a precise representation of the township and range system, illustrating the late-20th-century land management patterns that have long defined this portion of the Montana prairie.
