2014 Map of Naismith

About this map

Shelby anchors the northwestern corner of this High Plains landscape, where the agricultural plateaus of Toole Co meet the northern edge of Pondera Co. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Marias River as it carves through the southern portion of the quadrangle, creating a complex system of drainage features like Hilger Coulee and Pearson Coulee. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and rural infrastructure, including water management sites such as Summers Reservoir and Ovens Reservoir that support the region's ranching and farming operations.
