2014 Map of Thoeny

About this map

Thoeny sits near the southern edge of this landscape in Valley County, where the high plains meet the international border between the United States and Canada. This 2014 topographic study documents a sparsely settled ranching region defined by its drainage network, including the winding McEachern Creek and the deep incisions of Dolson Coulee and Davison Coulee. The small settlement of Thoeny is connected to the wider world by Theony Rd and McEachern Rd, which navigate the township and range boundaries of this borderland. Genealogists and local historians will find the Hill Crest Cem south of the main road, serving as a landmark for the families who have long worked this portion of the northern Montana frontier. The terrain is dominated by various forks of Rock Creek and small tributaries like Chambers Cr, illustrating the vital role of water management in this arid environment.
