2011 Map of Biem School

About this map

Biem characterizes the sparse settlement pattern of Roosevelt County's northern plains in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Smoke Creek, which drains a complex network of coulees and small tributaries across the high prairie. Transportation in this corner of the state relies on the north-south corridor of Brockton Rd, providing the primary link through the open terrain. This survey reflects the enduring character of the Montana ranching country, where large-scale land divisions and intermittent water sources dictate the placement of rural homesteads and infrastructure.
