2020 Map of Whitewater West

About this map

Whitewater serves as the primary focal point of this Phillips County landscape, situated in the southeastern corner where Whitewater Rd and Main St converge. The surrounding terrain is characterized by a high-plains drainage system, most notably the seasonal flow of Lone Tree Coulee and the branching network of Dibble Cr. These watercourses reveal the subtle topography of Northern Montana, where life and transit have long been dictated by the presence of water sources like Dibble Spring. To the north, the corridor defined by Border Rd underscores the area's proximity to the international boundary. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, dividing the townships of T35N and T36N into the structured sections that defined homesteading and ranching patterns across the region.
