About this map

Winnett serves as the primary hub on this central Montana survey, situated just north of Mc Donald Creek. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages, including the prominent Box Elder Creek and a series of coulees such as Shale Coulee, Buffalo Coulee, and Chokecherry Coulee. These features illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of the Petroleum County terrain, where water remains the primary architect of the geography.

Transportation and infrastructure history is visible through the Old Rail Road Grade tracking through the south, marking a shift in the local economy from rail-dependent trade. Local community life is represented by the Athletic Field and a small Cem on the edge of town, while the presence of Sewage Disposal Ponds and a Spillway indicates the mid-century municipal developments that supported this plains settlement.
