2017 Map of Whitlash

About this map

Whitlash stands as the primary settlement on this northern Montana landscape, located just south of the Canadian border where Toole and Liberty Counties meet. The terrain is defined by the high, rolling topography of the Sweet Grass Hills, carved by a complex network of coulees including Kent Coulee and Spring Coulee. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by a series of man-made catchments like Cook Reservoir, Brown Reservoir, and Morris Reservoir. For genealogists, the Whitlash Cem provides a specific point of local history near the junction of Whitlash Rd and Co Rd 409, which serves as a port of entry. The layout of ranch roads like Strawberry Rd and Gardner Rd illustrates the remote, agrarian transport patterns of this borderland region.
