About this map

Hillside Colony and Rim Rock Colony stand out as primary settlements on this high-plains landscape along the international boundary. This late 1960s survey documents a region defined by agricultural colonies and a developing extraction industry. The Canada United States border runs along the northern edge of the map, separating Alberta and Montana and marking the northern limit of Toole County.

Resource development is evident across the northern sections, particularly within the Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Wells. The terrain is carved by the winding path of Buckley Coulee, which provides a distinct contrast to the surrounding plateau. This map preserves the mid-century layout of these specific communal settlements and the infrastructure of the local oil and gravel industries during a period of active land use in Northern Montana.
