About this map

The international border between the United States and Canada defines the northern edge of this high plains landscape in Valley County. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of drainage systems, including Line Coulee in the north and Chambers Coulee further south. These geographical features, along with First Coulee, direct seasonal runoff toward Rock Creek and South Creek.

Remote prairie roads like Fossum Rd and Theony Rd provide the primary transit through the vast township sections of T37N and T36N. A notable landmark in the southern portion of the quadrangle is Lighthouse Hill, which rises near the small basin of Lake Elbert. This survey captures the sparse settlement patterns of the Montana backcountry, where land use is dictated by the availability of water at sources like Horse Cr.
