About this map

The boundary between Toole and Liberty County bisects this segment of the northern Montana plains, revealing a landscape defined by expansive township grids and intermittent water resources. Childrers Reservoir stands as a primary water source in the northwest, situated near the head of natural drainage systems like Galata Ravine and Kinyon Coulee. The map illustrates a sparse but organized settlement pattern typical of the high plains, where large landholdings like Blair Ranch are connected by a network of sectional roads.

A transition in infrastructure is evident in the movement from Galata Rd to Old Galata Rd, suggesting shifts in travel corridors over time. The presence of Greenhill School Rd points to the historical placement of rural educational hubs that once served these remote ranching communities. This 2014 survey captures the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, with the land meticulously divided into Townships 32 and 33 North.
