About this map

Bushnell Hill anchors this section of the northern border where the plains of Glacier County meet the international boundary. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Bish Coulee and Fox Coulee, which carve through the high ground towards the Milk River in the south. This area represents a sparsely populated ranching environment where water sources like Hole-in-The-Wall Spring were essential for livestock and early travelers.

Local transportation is facilitated by a network of rural routes including Hoyt Rd and Herron Rd, often following the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The presence of Buck Ranch Rd near the river suggests the long-standing agricultural use of the river valley. The proximity to the International Boundary is a central geographic feature, with Boundary Rd tracking the edge of the two nations.
