2011 Map of Robere

About this map

Robere (Historical) stands as a poignant landmark on this landscape, its memory preserved alongside the Robare Cemetery in this northern Montana survey. The terrain is defined by the vital irrigation infrastructure required for life on the Birch Creek Flats, with the Kingsbury Ditch, Thomas Williamson Ditch, and Ryan Lauffler Ditch cutting across the plains to distribute water from Birch Creek. This water management network, including the Birch Creek-Main Canal, illustrates the intensive agrarian engineering of the region. Local landmarks like the Birch Creek Rodeo Ground and the interestingly named Sober Up Coulee provide a glimpse into the community life and local nomenclature of Glacier County. The map also records the winding paths of Blacktail Creek and the deep draws of Miller Coulee and Cartwright Coulee.
