2011 Map of Aloe

About this map

Aloe stands as a small settlement in the high plains of Toole County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage channels and small-scale water management. The terrain is deeply incised by multiple coulees, including Healy Coulee and Spring Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff through this agricultural region. The human imprint on this dry environment is most evident in its infrastructure for water storage, such as the McLean Reservoir held by the McLean Dam and the strategically placed Rocky Mountain High Dam. A grid of rural roads, many bearing family or local names like Skryja Rd, Halverson Rd, and Maggie Ward, connects the isolated farmsteads and grazing lands. In the southern reach of the sheet, Aloe Lake serves as a prominent basin where several coulees, including Rocky Springs Coulee and Potter Coulee, converge.
