About this map

The Glacier County and Toole County line bisects this portion of the northern Montana plains, just south of the Canadian border. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Red River and a series of intermittent water bodies including Fitzpatrick Lake, Alkali Lake, and Grassy Lake. This high-plains terrain is etched by numerous coulees, such as Pearsons Coulee and Rocky Ridge Coulee, which provide vital drainage toward the river system.

Energy extraction is a primary feature of the local economy, represented here by the Red Creek Oil Field in the northeast. A network of rural roads, including E Sweetgrass Rd and Bunyak Rd, connects isolated ranch sites and oil operations. The map provides a clear view of the township and range system near the international boundary, showing the varied land use between open prairie and industrial infrastructure.
