2017 Map of Abbott Lake

About this map

The Marias River forms a central geographical anchor on this map, meeting the Two Medicine River and Cut Bank Creek in a complex drainage network at the triple-border intersection of Glacier, Toole, and Pondera Counties. This northern Montana landscape is defined by the high plains topography of the Cut Bank and Abbott Ridge, where the winding river valleys cut deep through the terrain. Evidence of the region’s vital irrigation infrastructure is visible in the south, where the AN Canal and AN Six Canal traverse the land alongside Bullhead Springs and the Bullhead Drop. Small, scattered water bodies like Abbott Lake and Stetler Lakes dot the landscape between notable landforms like Abbott Coulee and the wide flats of Willow Rounds. A network of rural roads, including Sullivan Bridge Rd and Mallard Springs Rd, provides access across these open reaches and to the historic crossing at Sullivan Bridge.
