2014 Map of Uphill Creek

About this map

Riverview Colony serves as a primary point of human settlement in this section of the northern Montana plains, situated just north of the Liberty County and Chouteau County line. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Uphill Creek, which winds through the center of the quadrangle. Several deep coulees, including Alkali Springs Coulee and Basin Coulee, carve through the terrain, illustrating the water-driven erosion common to this semi-arid region. These natural features dictated the placement of local thoroughfares like Dugout Road, which navigates the contours of the land. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range system at the start of the 21st century, showing how agricultural life and community clusters like the Hutterite colony are organized across the vast open spaces of the high plains.
