About this map

Hillside Colony and Rim Rock Colony stand as the primary cultural landmarks in this northern Montana landscape just south of the border between the Canada and the United States of America. Situated in Toole County, the area is defined by a network of drainage channels known as coulees, including Rocky Ridge Coulee and Buckley Coulee, which cut through the high plains toward the Red River.

Water management and natural depressions characterize the eastern half of the map, where Grassy Lake and the Twin Lakes provide focal points in an otherwise arid region. The presence of Benton Trail Lakes and Fitzpatrick Lake in the southern sections, alongside local thoroughfares like Buckley Rd and Suta Rd, illustrates the intersection of communal agricultural settlement and the natural geography of the Sweetgrass Hills region.
