1982 Map of Highwood

About this map

Highwood serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape, situated at the confluence of several prominent geographic features. The terrain is defined by the carved paths of Highwood Creek and Big Sag, where the flat prairie gives way to significant coulees like Deadman Coulee and Indian Coulee. Evidence of the area's logistical history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that winds through the hills north of town, tracing a path toward the grain infrastructure marked by numerous Storage Bins scattered across the township lines. The southern portion of the map transitions toward the valley of Belt Creek, where the boundary between Chouteau and Cascade counties is clearly delineated. Local landmarks such as the Cemetery near the southern border and the Athletic Fields and Park in town provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of this rural community in the early 1980s.
