1984 Map of Turner

About this map

Turner serves as the primary hub of this high-plains landscape in Blaine County, Montana, situated near the Canadian border. The 1984 survey documents a specialized agricultural and communal settlement pattern, characterized by the Turner Colony and a network of unimproved roads and trails. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Buckley Creek and the meandering path of Little Jewel Coulee, reflecting the arid nature of the Big Flat area. Aviation infrastructure is a critical lifeline for this isolated community, evidenced by multiple Landing Strips appearing on the sheet. This provisional edition preserves the mid-1980s layout of the town site, including essential municipal features like the Sewage Disposal Ponds, providing a clear look at the infrastructure required to sustain a remote prairie township.
