2017 Map of Fey Lakes

About this map

Gold Butte and its surrounding high plains define this landscape along the international border in Toole County. The terrain is marked by a series of glacial depressions and ephemeral waters, including the Fey Lakes, Ruby Johnson Lake, and Alkali Lake. In the northern reach, the map traces the boundary between the United States and Canada, where drainage patterns like Prichard Creek and Dead Horse Coulee flow through open range land. This area, known for its proximity to the Sweet Grass Hills, shows the legacy of early ranching and mining through its road network. Notable local history sites include the Gold Butte Cemetery, which rests near Eclipse Gulch and Miners Coulee. The presence of named features like The Pot Hole and The Deep Ground suggests a landscape shaped by distinct geological formations, characteristic of the northern Montana prairie.
