About this map

Duck Lake sits at the northern edge of this Montana landscape, where the waters of the Middle Fork Milk River and Dry Fork Milk River carve through high-altitude terrain. The topography is dominated by the prominent Saint Mary Ridge, which runs along the western portion of the quadrangle. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, with smaller features like Davis Coulee and Livermore Cr feeding into the larger river systems.

Remote transportation routes define the human imprint on the land, including St Mary Ridge Rd and the Livermore Truck Trl. These primitive roads and trails connect the higher elevations of the ridge to the lower river valleys. The map illustrates a transitional environment between the lake's southern shoreline and the complex network of creeks that define the headwaters of the Milk River system near the international border.
