2020 Map of Lighthouse Hill

About this map

Lighthouse Hill stands as a prominent topographical marker in this section of Valley County, where the high plains are carved by an intricate network of drainage channels. The landscape is defined by the repetitive rhythm of coulees, including Line Coulee in the north and the nearby First Coulee and Chambers Coulee to the south. Water is scarce in this arid environment, making features like Lake Elbert and the seasonal flows of Rock Creek and Horse Cr critical points of interest for historical land use. A handful of section-line roads, such as Fossum Rd and Theony Rd, provide the only modern access through this sparsely populated ranching country, following the natural contours of the northern Montana prairie.
