1997 Map of Ollie

About this map

The small community of Ollie sits at the center of this late 1990s landscape, serving as a focal point for ranching and homesteads along the border of Montana and North Dakota. This high plains environment is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Beaver Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Mud Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain. A significant portion of the eastern map area falls within the Little Missouri National Grassland, where the land is managed for conservation and public grazing. This survey provides a precise record of rural life, marking isolated structures, a local Cem, and a Scoria Pit used for road material. The presence of the Fifteenth Guide Meridian East indicates the importance of these foundational surveys in organizing the vast township and range system of the American West.
