2024 Map of Glass Hill

About this map

West Fork Poplar River carves through this northern Montana landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where wide valleys meet prominent local rises. The terrain is marked by distinct landmarks such as Round Butte and the namesake Glass Hill in the southeast, providing orientation across the open country. The map captures a sparse but structured network of section-line roads and named routes like Mason Rd and Glentanna Rd that serve the agricultural and ranching interests of Valley County. Drainage patterns are influenced by numerous seasonal waterways, including Mosquito Creek, Stewart Creek, and Roanwood Creek, which meander through areas like Happy Valley. This 2024 survey reflects the modern configuration of this high plains environment, showing how the local road network follows the historic Public Land Survey System grids while navigating the natural contours of the river valley.
