About this map

The Milk River carves a winding path across this portion of Hill County, Montana, defining a landscape of deep coulees and agricultural infrastructure. To the south, the Havre Irrigation Ditch and Meill Ditch speak to the engineering required to sustain this high plains region. Settlements such as Burnham and Pacific Junction are situated along the rail corridors and major routes like Co Rd 860 NW, serving as historical hubs for the surrounding ranching and farming communities.

Modern development is concentrated around the Havre City-County Airport and the community of Herron, where residential grids meet natural features like Halfway Lake and Shink Lake. The topography is marked by numerous named drainages, including Rattlesnake Coulee, Neal Coulee, and Indian Woman Coulee, which draw toward the Big Sandy Creek and Beaver Creek basins. These landmarks, alongside Black Butte, provide essential reference points for understanding the early 21st-century character of this Northern Montana landscape.
