2017 Map of Valentine

About this map

Valentine stands at the heart of this central Montana landscape where the plains meet a network of seasonal drainage channels. The settlement is centered near the intersection of the Valentine Rd and the border between Fergus and Petroleum Counties, marking a quiet junction in a high-plains ranching environment. Water sources are the defining landmarks here, from the elevated Valentine Springs to the winding paths of Blood Cr and Sage Cr. The terrain is deeply textured by erosional features like Schoneke Coulee and Hay Coulee, which dictate the local topography and the layout of rural access routes. This survey highlights the spatial relationship between these intermittent waterways and the early 21st-century road network that connects the scattered homesteads of the region.
