2017 Map of Volt

About this map

Volt and Tule Valley anchor this portion of Roosevelt County, Montana, where the high plains are defined by an organized grid of section lines and gravel roads. The landscape is primarily shaped by the drainage of Tule Cr and its northern tributary, N Fork Tule Cr, which cut through the undulating terrain of the Wolf Point District. Unlike many rural areas with winding paths, this region uses a strict Cartesian road network, featuring named routes such as Lustre Rd, Powder River Rd, and the curiously named Wall St. The settlement at Volt sits near the intersection of several local routes, illustrating a typical early 21st-century Montana agricultural landscape where small clusters of development were essential nodes for the surrounding ranching and farming operations across various townships.
