2017 Map of Outlook

About this map

Outlook sits as the primary settlement in this northern Montana landscape, located just south of the international border. The community is organized around the intersection of Outlook Hwy and Soo Line Rd, a name that reflects the historic rail infrastructure that helped shape the development of Sheridan County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Muddy Cr in the northwest and Plentywood Cr to the east, cutting through the high plains and creating the distinct topography of Outlook Bench Rd. A network of rural routes such as Dutch Henry Rd, Hogsback Rd, and Wards Rd connects isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots. The map records the persistence of these named tracks in a region where the land was long ago partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the grid boundaries of t37n r53e and its neighbors.
