About this map

Twin Hills Colony and the small settlement of Russell Chapel anchor this section of Chouteau County, where the topography is defined by the drainage network of Dugout Coulee. This high plains landscape transitions from the broad expanse of Sample Flat to the more dissected terrain around the North Fork Dugout Coulee and East Dugout Coulee. The presence of the Sample Flat Cem near the southern boundary provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this agricultural region.

Rural life is mapped through a grid of section lines and gravel roads such as Beaverslide Rd and Ames Ranch Rd. These routes connect isolated ranching operations and communal settlements, following the natural contours of the land. The U.S. Geological Survey detailing reveals how modern land use, including the Hutterite colony, integrates with the traditional township and range survey system established over a century ago.
