2017 Map of Chinook

About this map

Chinook serves as the regional hub on this northern Montana landscape, situated where the Milk River valley transitions into the surrounding coulees and plains. The town is structured by a grid of streets including Missouri St, Pennsylvania St, and Minnesota St, with the Edgar G Obie Airport located on the western edge. A complex system of water management is evident through the presence of the Matheson Ditch and Hillside Ditch, which parallel the river's course to support the local agricultural economy. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous seasonal drainages such as Threemile Coulee, Black Coulee, and Sixmile Coulee. To the north, the confluence of Lodge Cr and Battle Cr feeds into the river system, while named landforms like Sharnikon Gulch and Lonetree Coulee provide distinct geographic markers across the prairie.
