2011 Map of Westby South

About this map

Westby anchors the northern edge of this Sheridan County landscape, where the town's social and civic infrastructure is concentrated at the border of Montana and North Dakota. This survey documents a critical point of regional connectivity, with Stateline Rd and County Hwy-3 dividing the prairie into a rigid section grid. The terrain is defined by a north-south chain of prairie potholes, the largest being Goose Lake, which dominate the central drainage pattern. These water bodies dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Goose Lake Rd and Sand Flat Rd, contrasting with the surrounding linear agricultural roads. For researchers, the presence of the Westby Cemetery and the more remote Daneville Cemetery provides essential locations for tracing early families in this borderland community. The layout illustrates a classic High Plains settlement pattern where the Westby Post Office and Westby Vol Fire Dept remain the primary hubs for a widely dispersed farming population.
