1984 Map of Loring NW

About this map

The international boundary between Saskatchewan and Montana defines the northern edge of this landscape, where the northern reaches of Phillips Co meet the border of the United States and Canada. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of Cottonwood Coulee, which carves through the prairie landscape in a region defined more by its drainage patterns and survey lines than by concentrated settlement. This provisional survey captures the remote character of the northern Montana plains during the mid-1970s and early 1980s, emphasizing the natural topography of the coulee system as it relates to the international border and provincial lines.
