2017 Map of Knees NE

About this map

St Olaf Church stands as a primary landmark in this expansive agricultural corridor of North Central Montana, where the boundaries of Chouteau, Liberty, and Toole counties converge. The landscape is defined by the natural drainage of the High Plains, characterized by deep incisions like Dead Indian Coulee and Pondera Coulee. This 2017 survey illustrates a modern rural infrastructure built upon historic routes, most notably the Bootlegger Trl, which bisects the quadrangle from north to south. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Hollandsworth Reservoir and the presence of Shotgun Slough. For the local historian or genealogist, the map provides a precise layout of section lines and township ranges that dictate the placement of local roads like Selma Rd and Dugout Coulee Rd, reflecting the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System in this part of the state.
