2011 Map of Duck Lake

About this map

Duck Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Glacier County quadrangle, serving as a primary focal point for both hydrology and local recreation at the Duck Lake Campground. The area is defined by a series of branching waterways that move through the terrain, most notably the Middle Fork Milk River and the Dry Fork Milk River, which demonstrate the high-elevation drainage patterns characteristic of this region. To the southwest, the prominent elevation of Saint Mary Ridge rises above the river valleys. The map documents a sparse but deliberate network of roads and trails connecting the lakefront to the lower drainages of Livermore Creek, illustrating how the landscape's natural topography and water sources dictate the movement and settlement patterns in this part of Montana.
