2020 Map of Montague

About this map

Montague serves as the focal point of this high plains landscape in Chouteau County, where the grid of county roads meets the natural drainage patterns of the Missouri River watershed. The settlement is anchored by Railroad Ave and the nearby Montague Cem, reflecting a community structure built around early transportation and local heritage. The terrain is defined by a series of depressions and coulees, including Telephone Coulee and Windy Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff toward significant water bodies like Big Lake and Lost Lake. These alkaline basins and the prominent Black Rock formation highlight a geography shaped by glacial activity and wind erosion. The road network, including Frenchman Ridge Rd and Jensen Coulee Rd, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the enduring influence of the 19th-century land disposal acts on the modern Montana landscape.
