About this map

Hillside Colony and Rim Rock Colony anchor this northern Toole County landscape, where the prairie is defined by an intricate network of coulees and agricultural water management. The terrain is marked by numerous small-scale reservoirs and dams, such as the Looney Tuney Dam, GJP Suta Dam, and Miss Easy Pride Dam, which reflect the community's adaptation to this semi-arid region.

A distinct pattern of ephemeral drainage emerges through features like Rocky Ridge Coulee, Halfway Coulee, and Farrell Coulee. The presence of Little Jerusalem and various family-named routes, including Buckley Ranch Rd, points to a history of local land use and communal settlement. Water bodies such as Grassy Lake, Twin Lakes, and Davis Lakes are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital landmarks in the expansive open country near the Alberta border.
