About this map

Duck Lake dominates the northern reaches of this Glacier County landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding high plains and drainage systems. The terrain is defined by the prominent Saint Mary Ridge and the deep incision of Davis Coulee, which shape the flow of the local watersheds. This area marks the headwaters and early reaches of the Middle Fork Milk River and the Dry Fork Milk River, illustrating a complex hydraulic network of seasonal streams and permanent water sources like the 36N13W26ABCA01 Spring.

Transportation through this ranching and wildland interface relies on a network of established routes and remote paths, including Duck Lake Rd and the St Mary Ridge Rd. The presence of the Livermore Truck Trl and Hilton Rd suggests the enduring importance of access to these high-altitude ranges for local land management and recreational use. Smaller tributaries such as Livermore Cr further detail the intricate topography of the eastern slopes.
