2011 Map of Sollid School

About this map

The historical Sollid School grounds this section of Chouteau County, where rural life is defined by the critical management of water and the legacy of local families. The landscape is marked by several small water management features including the Fowler Reservoir, Retzburgs Army Dam, and Howard Johnson Dam. These landmarks, alongside family-named roads like Boyum Rd and Torske Rd, reflect the agricultural heritage of this Montana plains community. Genealogists will find particular value in the location of the Golden West Cemetery and the presence of the St Olaf Church at the northern edge of the survey area. The network of section-line roads, such as Golden West Rd and Midway Rd, outlines a deeply organized ranching territory where local landmarks like Powder Coulee provide the primary natural variation in the terrain.
