In this report, "subject property" refers to the approximately 1/2 acre parcel including the demolished buildings, the adjacent dump site, and up to the bank of the South Fork Whitetail Creek.

The subject property is located in north central Montana, approximately 50 miles south of the US border with Canada. The Old Clinic site sits at the base of the Rocky Mountain Front, east of the Continental Divide, on the west bank of the South Fork Whitetail Creek.
