2017 Map of Lustre

About this map

Lustre stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Valley County, where the high plains are carved by a network of drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the branching paths of the W Fork Wolf Cr and the Middle Fork Wolf Cr, which cut through the terrain alongside Tree Coulee. This 2017 survey reveals a rural infrastructure built on a grid of local routes, including the Sauber-Peerless Rd and Academy Rd, which connect isolated farmsteads and ranching operations. The presence of M B Church Rd suggests the enduring importance of community focal points in this sparsely populated region. These roads follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how 19th-century land divisions continue to dictate the modern transport patterns and property boundaries across the Montana landscape.
