2017 Map of Sollid School

About this map

The northern Great Plains of Montana reveal a sparse, gridded landscape of agricultural endurance at the crossroads of four counties. Established on a high, wind-swept plateau, Sollid School and the St Olaf Church to the north represent the historic social anchors of this dry-land farming community. Water is a defining yet elusive feature of the terrain, marked by seasonal drainage patterns like Dead Indian Coulee, Powder Coulee, and Pondera Coulee. The presence of the Fowler Reservoir and Shotgun Slough highlights the vital importance of water management in a region where the land is divided by long, straight section-line roads such as Sollid Rd and Iverson Rd. Genealogists will find interest in the Golden West Cem, located along Golden W Cemetery Rd, which stands as a quiet record of the families who settled this high-prairie country.
