About this map

The International Boundary between Alberta and Montana defines the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, where the Blackfeet Indian Reservation meets the border. The terrain is marked by a series of deep drainages including Fox Coulee, Bush Coulee, and Kennedy Coulee, which channel toward the meandering Milk River in the south. Rising above these draws, Bushnell Hill serves as a prominent landmark in a region characterized by vast open range and minimal development.

Evidence of human infrastructure is sparse but specific, appearing as a long Pipeline traversing the western sections and the Boundary Road running parallel to the Canadian border. A notable natural feature, Hole-in-the-Wall Spring, provides a rare water source among the ridges, while a designated Ford on the river suggests the historical routes used to navigate this frontier before modern bridging.
