About this map

Joplin serves as the primary hub of this north-central Montana agricultural landscape, centered around the Joplin Post Office and the Joplin Fire Dept. The layout of the town is defined by a grid of local streets including Norman Ave and 1st St S, while the Joplin Cemetery sits on the eastern edge of the community. This 2011 survey captures the area’s reliance on water management in a semi-arid environment, evidenced by the Echo Reservoir Dam and Delmar Dam to the south.

The surrounding plains are marked by a network of rural roads such as Bison Rd and Black Coulee Rd that link small settlements and landmarks. The locality of Buelow appears west of the main townsite, while the distinctive geological and hydrological feature of Rehal Flat dominates the central portion of the map. These features together illustrate a community built on the vast high plains, where town life is tightly clustered and the surrounding land is carved by coulees and irrigation efforts.
