About this map

The Tobacco Plains of Lincoln County, Montana, define this northern borderland area where the United States meets Canada. In the late 20th century, the landscape is a mix of agricultural flats and timbered slopes of the Kootenai National Forest. The town of Eureka serves as the local hub, supported by the Tobacco River and a network of creeks including Ksanka Creek and Sinclair Creek. Near the international boundary, Roosville and its Roosville PO mark the port of entry adjacent to the US Customs station.

Water is a prominent feature throughout the northern section, with Sophie Lake, Moran Lake, and Tetrault Lake dotting the plains. Local infrastructure is visible through landmarks like the Eureka International Airport, the Iowa Flats School, and the Eureka Cem. The map also details the complex water management system in the region, evidenced by multiple siphons crossing the terrain to support the farms and ranches of Iowa Flats.
