About this map

Fitzpatrick Lake and the northern border between the United States and Canada define this section of the High Plains on the boundary of Toole and Glacier counties. The landscape is characterized by its distinct hydrography and drainage patterns, with the Red River flowing through the northern portion while numerous coulees, such as Pearsons Coulee and Treadwell Coulee, carve through the terrain. These features illustrate the natural runoff systems of the Montana prairie.

A sparse network of rural routes and section lines, including Red River Rd and Exxon Rd, provides access to this isolated ranching and resource area. The presence of Alkali Lake and Grassy Lake further south highlights the seasonal and mineral-rich nature of the region's water bodies. This map preserves the contemporary spatial organization of a remote borderland, showing the intersection of international boundaries and natural landforms.
