2017 Map of Opheim

About this map

Opheim sits at a crossroads of the northern Montana prairie, anchoring a landscape shaped by early twentieth-century homesteading and the expansion of the Great Northern Railway. This contemporary survey reveals the modern infrastructure of this high-plains community, from the Opheim Airport to the grid of agricultural roads like Theony Rd and Coal Mine Hill Rd that divide the vast sections of Valley County. Local history is preserved at the Lawndale Cem, located just east of the main townsite near Bog Coulee. The topography is defined by the gradual drainage systems of the Middle Fork Porcupine Cr and Snow Coulee, which cut through the level terrain. The layout of the town itself, featuring Main St, 2nd Ave N, and Railroad Ave, reflects its origins as a regional hub for the surrounding wheat country.
