2020 Map of Wheeler

About this map

Wheeler anchors the southeastern corner of this Valley County landscape, situated near the head of Wheeler Coulee. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems and coulees that cut through the high plains, including Galpin Coulee and Fullerton Coulee, which flow toward the lower elevations in the south. In the northern reaches, the Vandalia S Canal provides a managed water source across the flatlands north of Tiger Butte. This 2020 record illustrates the enduring rural grid of Valley County, where section lines are traced by long-established routes such as Maxness Rd and Tiger Butte Rd. The geographic names, from Dogie Cr to Borton Coulee, reflect a landscape deeply tied to ranching and water management in Montana's Big Sky country.
