About this map

Montague serves as the central hub of this Chouteau County landscape, positioned along the tracks of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. The presence of Grain Elevators and multiple Storage Bins scattered across the plains highlights the agricultural importance of the region during the early 1970s. This survey records the essential infrastructure that supported local grain production and transport during a period when rail lines remained vital to the rural Montana economy.

The topography is defined by a series of significant water bodies, including the centrally located White Lake and the southern Big Lake. Smaller features like Lost Lake and Harwood Lake dot the higher elevations, while a localized Spring and Gravel Pit indicate the natural resources being utilized on the ground. To the east, the landmark known as Black Rock provides a distinct geographical anchor in the undulating terrain.
