2017 Map of Montague

About this map

Montague serves as the focal point for this section of Chouteau County, where the high plains of north-central Montana are carved by dramatic drainages. The landscape is defined by its water and topography, featuring a series of intermittent lakes including White Lake, Lost Lake, and Big Lake. These basins sit alongside deep erosion features such as Telephone Coulee and Windy Coulee, which cut through the surrounding tablelands. Local history and genealogy interests are centered on the Montague Cem and the small grid of the settlement itself. The region's agricultural infrastructure is evident through a network of rural routes like Frenchman Ridge Rd and the presence of Railroad Ave, reflecting the vital role of transit in this isolated ranching and farming territory. To the east, the terrain rises toward the feature known as Black Rock, overlooking the expansive Coulee system.
