2020 Map of Buffalo Lake

About this map

Buffalo Lake and its smaller neighbor, Little Buffalo Lake, anchor the northern reaches of this high plains landscape in Glacier County. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct elevations and drainage patterns, with Chalk Butte rising in the northeast and Horsethief Ridge marking the central divide. The mapping of Little Rock Coulee and its South Fork illustrates the seasonal watercourses that have carved the earth between prominent landmarks like Little Crown Butte and Antelope Butte. Sparse transportation routes, such as Chalk Butte Rd and Brandvold Rd, trace the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, reflecting the methodical organization of these open western lands.
