1984 Map of North Chinook Reservoir NE

About this map

The international border between the United States and Canada defines the northern edge of this northern Montana landscape, where the plains of Blaine Co meet Saskatchewan. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of East Fork Battle Creek as it meanders through the southeast corner, providing a vital water source in an otherwise high-prairie environment. This 1984 provisional edition highlights the sparse human footprint of the era, focusing instead on the intricate topography of the northern plains and the geometric precision of the border line between Montana and its Canadian neighbor. The map offers a clear view of the drainage patterns and land elevations that dictated ranching and movement along the borderlands during the late 20th century.
