2020 Map of Harlem

About this map

Harlem serves as a central hub for this portion of Blaine County, situated along the north bank of the Milk River. The town layout is clearly defined by its street grid, including Central Ave W and Main St N, while the surrounding landscape is marked by the vital irrigation infrastructure of the Harlem Canal and Fort Belknap Canal. These waterways underscore the importance of agriculture in this prairie region, drawing water to support local ranching and farming operations. To the north, the North Harlem Colony represents a distinct communal settlement pattern characteristic of the high plains, while the winding Thirtymile Creek and Borders Coulee carve through the northern hills. The Presence of the Harlem Airport and the Harlem Cem on the outskirts of town provide a look at the essential services supporting this rural Montana community.
