2014 Map of Hawley Hill

About this map

The Whitlash Gas and Oil Field marks the western edge of this northern Montana landscape, where the terrain rises sharply from the plains into the eastern reaches of the Sweet Grass Hills. This 2014 survey documents a rugged ranching and energy-producing corridor along the Canadian border, characterized by deep drainage systems like Long Coulee and Simmons Coulee. Significant topographical landmarks such as Hawley Hill, Ikes Butte, and Bingham Ridge define the local relief, while a network of seasonal watercourses including Police Cr and Dohrs Cr weave through the township sections. The map reveals the infrastructure of the rural West through isolated routes like Flat Coulee Rd and Black Jack Rd, reflecting a landscape dedicated to resource extraction and high-altitude grazing.
