2011 Map of Knees NE

About this map

St Olaf Church stands as a primary landmark in this rural Chouteau County landscape, anchoring a region defined by agricultural water management and sparse prairie roads. The terrain is characterized by a series of small-scale impoundments with distinctive local names, including Gladiolus Dam, Kneeded Dam, and the humorously titled O'Lot O'Farmin' Dam. These features, along with Shotgun Slough, illustrate the vital importance of water storage for ranching and farming in north-central Montana. The road network, including Dugout Rd and Prairie Dr, follows a traditional grid pattern typical of the Great Plains, connecting remote homesteads and providing access to resources like the Hollandsworth Reservoir. This 2011 survey provides a detailed view of the localized infrastructure that sustains this high-plains environment.
