2017 Map of Dorner School

About this map

Dorner School stands as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of Chouteau County, where the topography is defined by the deep incisions of coulees into the surrounding plateau. The drainage patterns of Dugout Coulee and East Dugout Coulee carve through the center of the survey, while Chimney Rock Coulee dictates the terrain in the southeastern corner. This region's agricultural and ranching infrastructure is visible through a network of section-line and canyon-hugging routes, including Buck Bridge Rd and McLeish Rd. The map illustrates the transition between township grids, specifically where t27n r6e meets t27n r7e, reflecting the systematic settlement and land division of north-central Montana. The placement of Dugout Rd W and Brady Rd E highlights how local transportation routes were adapted to the varying elevations of this open prairie environment.
