2017 Map of Pondera School

About this map

Pondera School stands as a focal point in this portion of North Central Montana, situated where Bootlegger Trl meets Dead Indian Rd. The landscape is dominated by the northern reaches of Lake Elwell, a significant body of water whose irregular shoreline cuts deeply into the surrounding high plains. To the southwest, the terrain transitions into the distinct natural drainage of Timber Coulee. The map illustrates a grid-like network of rural roads that cross the border between Toole and Liberty counties, including Prospect Rd and Old Pondera School Rd. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring spatial organization of Montana's agricultural landscape, where historic school sites and named trails like Hauser Rd continue to define local geography and navigation within the expansive ranchlands.
