About this map

St Olaf Church stands as a spiritual landmark in this northern Montana landscape, located near the intersection of Rockwood Rd and the Pondera and Toole County line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees—dry or intermittent stream valleys—that carve through the high plains. These features, including Fowler Coulee, Wilckox Coulee, and Bird Coulee, reveal the complex drainage patterns that dictate the placement of local roads like Moulton School Rd and Sollid Rd.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the M Ratzburg Reservoir in the northeast. The surveyor's grid is strictly maintained across the coulees, with section lines and townships such as t28n r1w and t28n r1e providing the framework for rural life. The presence of these named coulees alongside family-named roads like Keil Ln and Berland Loop offers a clear view of how early settlement and modern ranching adapt to the undulating northern plains.
