About this map

The Glacier Co Toole Co boundary line bisects this 1966 topographic survey, highlighting a landscape defined by industrial energy extraction and remote prairie life. The rugged terrain, marked by several prominent coulees, is punctuated by numerous gas wells and occasional oil wells, indicating the significance of the region's mineral resources during the mid-20th century.

Transport and social infrastructure follow the diagonal path of the Great Northern railroad, which cuts across the northern half of the quadrangle. Local educational and water resources are centered around the Marias Sch and the map's namesake, Boru Spring. These features reflect a sparse settlement pattern where essential services were positioned along established transit corridors and natural water sources in the Montana plains.
