About this map

The high plains of Toole County are defined here by the southeastern reaches of the Sweet Grass Hills, where prominent landmarks like Jackass Butte and Gold Butte rise above the surrounding drainage networks. The landscape is deeply incised by a series of coulees, including Miners Coulee and Fourmile Coulee, which channel water toward intermittent basins. The scarcity of permanent water in this northern Montana environment is evident in the presence of Wood Reservoir, MacHale Reservoir, and Wood Spring.

Evidence of local ranching history is preserved in the naming of rural infrastructure, such as Eide Ranch Rd and Eide School Rd, suggesting the historical locations of family-run operations and local school districts. The network of secondary routes like Sundby Rd and Tom Scalese Rd provides a look at the division of these wide-open spaces, where roads often follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System between basins like Parsell Lake and Cameron Lake.
