2014 Map of Waltham

About this map

Belt Creek carves a deep, winding path through the landscape of Cascade and Chouteau counties, serving as a primary corridor for transportation and infrastructure. The rugged terrain is marked by numerous coulees, such as Widow Coulee and Hower Coulee, while prominent elevations like Shepherd Butte and Rattlesnake Hill rise above the surrounding plains. The local geography is further defined by a series of engineered crossings and tunnels required to navigate the creek's steep banks. Notable engineering features include Amphitheater Tunnel Number 4 and the Lacey Tunnel Number 3, which reflect the historical efforts to facilitate movement through this complex topography. Small settlements like Rogers and Waltham are connected by a network of rural roads including Highwood Rd and Waltham Rd, illustrating the dispersed ranching and agricultural character of the region in the early 21st century.
