1984 Map of Sunny Slope School

About this map

Sunny Slope School serves as a lone institutional landmark in this sparsely settled region along the international border in Phillips Co. This 1984 provisional study, based on 1975 aerial photography and a 1979 field check, documents the high plains landscape where the Saskatchewan-Montana boundary meets the Canada-United States border. The map illustrates a territory defined by remote section lines and unimproved trails rather than established towns, reflecting the late 20th-century character of the northern frontier. The topography is marked by numerous small depressions and drainage patterns that characterize the glaciated plains, offering a precise view of the terrain as it existed before modern agricultural or infrastructure changes altered the local drainage.
