About this map

Sweet Grass and Sunburst anchor this Toole County landscape along the international boundary, where the High Plains meet the Canadian border. The map documents a classic northern Montana corridor, dominated by a north-south transportation artery that parallels Railroad St and the historic rail line through the heart of the region. The terrain is defined by dry-land drainages such as Halfway Coulee, Wolf Coulee, and Sunburst Coulee, which carve through the high ground towards the border.

Unique geological and infrastructure landmarks stand out in this 2020 survey, including the striking Jerusalem Rocks and the Ross International Airport situated just south of the Canada-United States boundary. For those researching local history, the grid of the town of Sunburst is shown in detail, featuring local routes like Main St and E 1st St N, providing a clear record of recent settlement patterns and rural ranch access via Simmes Ranch Ln.
