About this map

Big Sandy serves as the focal point of this northern Montana landscape, situated at the junction of several regional routes such as Kremlin Rd and Warrick Rd. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the civic infrastructure of the community, including the Big Sandy Post Office, Big Sandy Cemetery, and the Big Sandy Vol Fire Dept and Ambulance Service.

The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of drainages and topographical features that reveal the local geography's character. Big Sandy Creek winds through the center of the quadrangle, joined by numerous coulees such as Lonesome Lake Coulee, Snake Coulee, and Coal Mine Coulee. To the southeast, Rattlesnake Butte rises above the plains, while the presence of Sibra Dam indicates water management efforts in this arid stretch of Chouteau County.
