1983 Map of Plentywood NW

About this map

The northern edge of Sheridan Co, Montana, meets the international border in this 1983 study, highlighting the rural transition into Surprise Valley Rural Municipality No 9, Saskatchewan. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Plentywood Creek as it winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined further east by the smaller Harrys Creek. This map, based on 1974 aerial photography and 1977 field checks, documents a sparsely populated agricultural and ranching frontier where the primary infrastructure consists of isolated section roads and a solitary Air Strip. The terrain is characterized by the subtle relief of the northern plains, showing the relationship between small watercourses and the broad prairie topography along the Canada United States boundary.
