2020 Map of Bushnell Hill

About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States of America defines the northern edge of this high plains landscape. At the center of the survey, the namesake Bushnell Hill rises as a prominent landmark over a terrain carved by ephemeral drainages such as Bish Coulee and Kennedy Coulee. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the winding course of the Milk River, which serves as a vital water source for the region's ranching economy. Human presence is largely defined by a network of rural routes, including Buck Ranch Rd and Boundary Rd, which trace the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The inclusion of Hole-In-The-Wall Spring provides a rare point of permanent water in this dry environment, highlighting the essential features for early land navigation and settlement in Glacier County.
