2011 Map of Starr School

About this map

Starr School and the neighboring community of Star sit at the heart of this high plains landscape in Glacier County, Montana. The terrain is defined by the convergence of the North Fork Cut Bank Creek and the South Fork Cut Bank Creek, where the water network supports local life through features like the Cut Bank Grease Wood Canal. This 2011 survey captures the area's rural character, centered around family and community landmarks such as the Afterbuffalo Cemetery and the Aspenwood Camp. The map details a transition from the structured waterways in the north to the more erratic drainage patterns of Flatiron Creek and Willow Creek further south, illustrating the hydraulic infrastructure necessary for settlement in this part of Montana.
