1984 Map of Chester
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The High Line of northern Montana unfolds across this mid-1980s landscape, where a series of small grain-belt settlements track the essential path of the Burlington Northern railroad. Running parallel to the international border with Canada, towns such as Chester, Joplin, Inverness, Rudyard, and Kremlin are tied together by this vital transportation corridor. The northern portion of the map is defined by the arid drainage patterns of Sage Creek and McKinney Reservoir, while the eastern section is dominated by the sprawling waters of the Fresno Reservoir and the winding course of the Milk River. The presence of the Sage Creek Colony in the northwest corner highlights the region's distinct communal agricultural heritage. Notable landforms like Rattlesnake Butte and Black Butte rise above the surrounding plains, providing orientation points in a landscape characterized by deep coulees like O'Brien Coulee and Ninemile Coulee.
