About this map

Chinook serves as the primary hub of activity in this northern Montana landscape, situated near the meandering path of the Milk River. The town layout is defined by a grid of streets including Montana St and 9th St, supported by essential local infrastructure like the Chinook Post Office and the Chinook Vol Fire Dept. Outside the residential core, the map reveals a community deeply connected to its agricultural and civic roots, featuring the Blaine County Fairgrounds and the Edgar G Obie Airport.

Water management is a central theme of the geography, visible through the Paradise Diversion Dam and an intricate network of irrigation features such as the Hillside Ditch and Matheson Ditch. The surrounding terrain is carved by numerous coulees, including Redrock Coulee and Sixmile Coulee, which drain toward the river. For those researching local heritage, the inclusion of the Chinook Cemetery and Saint Gabriel Cemetery provides valuable genealogical reference points.
