2017 Map of Robertson School

About this map

Robertson School serves as a lone institutional landmark in this expansive corner of Garfield County, Montana. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Big Dry Cr and several distinct coulees, including Smiley Coulee and Lynch Coulee. In a region where open range and topographic prominence dictate the layout of the land, two uniquely named high points, Hawks Nest and Robbers Roost, stand out against the surrounding terrain. These features suggest a history of surveillance and shelter in the high plains. Navigation through this rural area is facilitated by a sparse network of roads such as Ingomar Rd and Fitch Rd, which follow the contours of the dry draws and ridgelines. The map provides a look at the modern rural infrastructure, where water sources like Alkali Draw are critical markers in an otherwise arid environment.
