About this map

Grainbelt Cem stands as a focal point for family researchers in this high-plains landscape of northern Montana. The topography is defined by a dense network of coulees—dry creek beds that channel seasonal runoff toward the Milk River valley—including Quigley Coulee, Lohman Coulee, and Supenau Coulee. These features create a repetitive, branching landform pattern characteristic of the region's semi-arid erosion.

Transportation in the early 21st century follows a rigid section-line grid, though MT-232 cuts diagonally across the center, connecting the area near Lohman Reservoir to the surrounding hills. Prominent elevations like Flagstaff Hill provide orientation above the smaller drainages such as Nelson Coulee and Coal Coulee. This survey captures the rural character of Hill County, where large-scale ranching and dryland farming rely on these specific water features and historical road markers like Amos Trl.
