2014 Map of Forestgrove

About this map

Forestgrove sits at a crossroads of ranching and mountain geography in Fergus County, documented here as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the transition from the high elevation of McDonald Butte and the rugged depths of Rose Canyon to the valley floors drained by the S Fork McDonald Cr and Surenough Cr. Evidence of the area's pioneer roots is preserved at the Forest Grove Cem, which remains a central point of interest for local genealogy. The road network, including Forest Grove Rd and Surenuff Rd, follows the natural contours of the drainages, reflecting a settlement pattern dictated by the challenging terrain. Numerous seasonal and perennial streams like Tyler Cr, Bear Cr, and Potter Cr carve through the foothills, illustrating the complex hydrology of this part of central Montana.
