1984 Map of Turner NW

About this map

The Canada United States international border bisects this 1984 survey, marking the northernmost reaches of Blaine Co, Montana. This landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage systems of the northern plains, where Woody Island Coulee winds across the international boundary line. To the south, the terrain descends toward Buckley Creek, reflecting the sparse and specialized topography of the Saskatchewan Montana frontier. The lack of concentrated settlements or infrastructure on this map highlights the expansive, open character of the high plains during the late 20th century. Local historians and land researchers can trace the specific path of these watercourses as they dictated land use and property boundaries along the 49th parallel, where the rugged natural drainage remains the primary geographic feature.
