2020 Map of Lookout

About this map

St. Marie stands on the southwestern edge of this landscape, marking a concentrated hub of development amidst the vast grazing lands of Valley County. The terrain is defined by the broad drainage of Porcupine Valley, where Porcupine Cr winds through a complex system of coulees and ridges. Notable water sources such as Olson Springs and Potter Spring punctuate the arid environment, while Middle Reservoir provides a managed catchment north of the Calderwood Hills. To the northeast, the small locality of Lookout is situated near Hay Coulee, serving as a reference point in this sparsely settled region. The map reveals the intricate network of section lines and range boundaries, including t31n r41e, that organize the high plains of northeastern Montana. The contrast between the grid-based settlement of St. Marie and the winding natural features like Dry Fork Cr illustrates the intersection of human planning and the rugged northern plains topography.
