About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States defines the geography of this northern Montana landscape, where the Boundary Road separates Montana from Alberta. The settlement of Del Bonita sits at the crossing point, supported by a Canadian Customs post and the nearby Croff Wren Sch. The terrain is shaped by the winding course of the Milk River, which meanders through the central and southern portions of the sheet, fed by glacial drainage features like Kennedy Coulee and Coal Bank Coulee.

South of the border, much of the land falls within the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, a region of open high plains marked by water bodies such as Croffs Lake. Evidence of small-scale local industry is visible at several Gravel Pit sites, while the presence of a Gaging Sta on the river suggests the importance of water management in this prairie environment. The map provides a precise look at the rural section lines and topography as it appeared in the late 1960s.
