About this map

Del Bonita sits directly on the international boundary between the United States of America and Canada, serving as a significant northern gateway in Glacier County. This high plains landscape is defined by the winding course of the Milk River, which carves through the terrain alongside dramatic relief features like Coal Bank Coulee and Kennedy Coulee. The presence of the Whetstone International Airport at the very edge of the border highlights the strategic and logistical importance of this remote crossing point.

Away from the water, the survey details a sparse but essential network of rural transit, including Chalk Butte Rd and Radar Base Rd, which connect isolated ranchlands to the border post. Local landmarks like Croffs Lake provide distinct geographic anchors in a region where the vastness of the Montana prairie meets the regulated structure of the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the grid of t37n r9w and surrounding townships.
