2014 Map of Emigrant Gap

About this map

Saint Mary Canal and the upper reaches of the North Fork Milk River define this high-plains landscape along the international boundary between Montana and Canada. The map illustrates a network of ranch roads and historic trails that cross the northern edge of Glacier County, including Emigrant Gap Rd and Fox Ranch Rd. Named landforms like Hungry Horse Flat, Pikuni Flat, and Twin Buttes provide significant geographical context for the area's grazing and irrigation history. The engineering of the Saint Mary Canal is a prominent feature, winding through the northwestern corner near Emigrant Gap. This area is characterized by drainage features such as Dubray Coulee and Fox Coulee, which flow toward the northern border, and old thoroughfares like the Mcgovern Trl and Squaw Flat Trl that hint at earlier routes through The Basin.
