About this map

Colstrip serves as the focal point of this eastern Montana landscape, situated at the junction of industrial development and the high plains. The town's modern footprint is defined by a residential grid featuring named thoroughfares like Homestead Blvd and Cheyenne Dr, surrounding the prominent Castle Rock Lake. This water body and the nearby Castle Rock Rd reflect the area's geological character and its importance to local settlement.

The surrounding terrain is carved by a network of drainage systems including E Fork Armells Cr, McGilvrey Cr, and Corral Cr. State route MT-39 provides the primary north-south corridor through the township sections of T2N and T3N, connecting the town to the broader Rosebud County region. The presence of remote water sources such as the 02N40E17ADAD01 Spring highlights the reliance on specific points of groundwater in this semi-arid environment.
