About this map

Westby anchors the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, positioned precisely where the Soo Line railroad traverses the boundary between Sheridan County, Montana, and Divide County, North Dakota. The area is defined by its industrial activity and sparse prairie topography, dominated by the sprawling waters of Goose Lake and a series of smaller kettle ponds.

Evidence of the region's resource-based economy is scattered throughout the township of Daneville, with numerous Oil Wells and a Drill Hole indicating active petroleum exploration. Local heritage is preserved at the Daneville Cem, located south of the main settlement. Infrastructure such as the Water Tank, Storage Bins, and a prominent Radio Tower serve as the primary vertical landmarks in an otherwise open, horizontal terrain during the late twentieth century.
