2023 Map of Emigrant Gap

About this map

Saint Mary Canal winds across the northern reaches of this Glacier County landscape, just south of the international border between Canada and the United States. The terrain is defined by the hydrologic network of the North Fork Milk River, which carves through a series of expansive flats and coulees. Named topographic features like Hungry Horse Flat and Pikuni Flat suggest a history of indigenous presence and early ranching, while the dramatic landforms of Twin Buttes and Emigrant Gap serve as significant regional landmarks. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the high plains, where specialized infrastructure like the Canal Trl and various ranch access routes such as Fox Ranch Rd and 3 C Bar Rd facilitate movement through the drainage basins of Hagerty Creek and Dubray Coulee.
