1968 Map of Robere

About this map

The Lewis and Clark Trail cuts through this landscape on the edge of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation Bdy, where the high plains transition between Glacier and Pondera Counties. The map documents the former townsite of Robere, once a notable stop in the region, along with the Robere Cem and the nearby Grandview Sch. This area is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure designed to manage the waters of Birch Creek and Blacktail Creek, including the Ryan Lauffler Ditch and the Kingsbury Ditch. Local community life is centered around landmarks like the Birch Creek Rodeo Ground and the small settlement of Arena. The terrain is marked by distinctive coulees such as Miller Coulee and Cartwright Coulee, which drain the open Flats.
