1973 Map of Roanwood

About this map

The Canada United States border defines the northern edge of this northern Montana landscape, where the Opheim Port of Entry US Customs facilitates international passage between Saskatchewan and Montana. The small community of Roanwood serves as a focal point in the Roanwood Valley, a region characterized by its agricultural utility and drainage patterns. Water features like Roanwood Creek and Mosquito Creek wind through the terrain, while several unnamed Springs provide vital water sources in this semi-arid environment. The presence of Storage Bins and a Gravel Pit indicates a localized economy based on farming and resource extraction. For those tracing family histories or land use, the map identifies a small Cem and various wells scattered across the township, showing the distribution of rural life and infrastructure in Valley County during the early 1970s.
