2014 Map of Hillside

About this map

Hillside sits at the intersection of high prairie drainage and modern transit in this rural section of Garfield County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of coulees and creeks that carve through the terrain, notably Thompson Cr and its northern tributaries like Todd Coulee and Artz Coulee. These features represent the classic watershed topography of eastern Montana, where seasonal runoff has sculpted the earth over generations. To the southeast, Red Butte Cr and Douglas Coulee further illustrate this drainage pattern, while MT-59 provides the primary north-south artery through the township boundaries of T14N R41E and T13N R42E. The map captures the quiet character of the region, where named landmarks often reflect early ranching families and the geographic necessity of locating water in a semi-arid environment.
