2011 Map of Abbott Lake

About this map

Cut Bank Creek and the Two Medicine River converge in this northern Montana landscape, marking the headwaters of the Marias River. The convergence occurs near the Sullivan Bridge, where the terrain transitions into a series of plateaus and drainages. The map details the local hydrology of the High Plains, including the namesake Abbott Lake and the nearby Stetler Lakes. Human presence is defined by established ranching operations like the Wilkins Ranch and the localized area of Willow Rounds. The irrigation infrastructure, essential for agricultural life in Glacier County, is represented by the An Canal and the Bullhead Drop along Bullhead Creek. Notable relief features such as Abbott Ridge and Abbott Coulee provide significant landmarks for understanding the natural drainage patterns that feed into the larger river systems of the region.
